Reviews and testimonials.

travel insurance for fishing equipment

“When we flew to Chicago last October, my husband’s bags were lost. We reported the loss to the airline and then to Travel Guard. Due to the close attention we got from Travel Guard, his bag was found and returned to us that evening before we started our cross-country “bucket list” train trip across the USA. I don’t know what we would have done for three days without his bag! Thank you, Travel Guard! We’ll never make travel plans again without you!!!”

Fishing Travel Insurance Overview

Understanding travel insurance for fishing trips.

Fishing trip insurance is a tailored form of adventure travel insurance designed for individuals embarking on fishing excursions. Picture this: an immersive fishing journey, perhaps spanning several days, organized by a tour operator, where you venture from one fishing spot to another.

This insurance coverage is crucial as it provides protection for medical emergencies, evacuation, and repatriation, which are indispensable for any serious fishing trip. Without this insurance, anglers could be left with substantial medical costs in the event of an unforeseen incident.

Moreover, this insurance addresses trip cancellations and interruptions, which can lead to considerable financial losses. It’s essential to carefully examine the policy to ensure that it encompasses coverage for the specific fishing activities you plan to engage in, guaranteeing that you’re safeguarded during your angling adventure.

With this insurance, you’re also protected when renting fishing equipment for the day while traveling, although this might seem excessive and a standard travel insurance policy might suffice for such short-term needs.

What Does It Cover?

The majority of insurance policies for fishing trips typically provide coverage for the following four categories:

Medical Expenses

Sustaining injuries while on a fishing trip can lead to severe financial consequences. The cost of medical treatment can fluctuate widely based on your location, and if you’re fishing in a remote spot, you might face extra fees for services like helicopter evacuation and medical repatriation.

Most fishing trip insurance policies include coverage for emergency medical assistance, often up to a significant limit. However, it’s important to recognize that the coverage for rescue efforts may have a cap, which could be lower than the coverage for medical treatment expenses. It’s essential to review the details of your policy to comprehend the full scope of coverage for such events.

Trip Cancellation or Interruption

If an injury compels you to cancel or abbreviate your fishing trip, fishing trip insurance enables you to claim compensation for the unused parts of your excursion. The coverage amount for cancellations can vary, typically extending from a modest sum to several thousand dollars.

This aspect of fishing trip insurance ensures that you can recover some of the expenses from your disrupted plans, offering financial respite in the face of an unexpected injury.

Equipment Coverage

If you experience the unfortunate event of your fishing gear being damaged, stolen, or lost, fishing trip insurance typically offers coverage that can vary from a nominal amount to several thousand dollars.

Keep in mind that most insurance policies include a per-item limit, so if you’re carrying high-end rods, reels, or other expensive equipment, they might not be fully covered even if the policy indicates an equipment coverage of a few thousand dollars. Always check the fine print to ensure your most valuable gear is adequately protected under the terms of your insurance.

What Doesn't Cover?

When evaluating specialized travel insurance for fishing trips, it’s important to be aware of the exclusions that could affect your coverage. Possible exclusions might include:

Unattended equipment: If your fishing gear is left unattended and then stolen, your insurance coverage may not apply.

Ignoring travel advisories: If you choose to fish in a location against the advice of official bodies such as the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, your insurance might not provide coverage.

For anglers venturing into isolated or difficult-to-access fishing locations, Global Rescue stands out as a premier option. Its exceptional medical evacuation services set it apart from other insurance choices.

Fishing in America

Fishing holidays in America are a popular choice for many U.S citizens, with countless lakes, rivers, and coastal areas offering plenty of opportunities for fishing enthusiasts. However, planning a fishing holiday requires some consideration, especially when it comes to travel insurance. In this article, we’ll explore the different types of fishing holidays in America and how travel insurance can help protect your investment.

  • Freshwater fishing holidays: Freshwater fishing is a popular choice for many Americans. Whether you’re looking to catch bass, trout, or catfish, there are countless lakes and rivers throughout the country that offer excellent freshwater fishing opportunities. Some of the best freshwater fishing destinations in America include the Great Lakes, the Ozarks, and the Adirondacks. When planning a freshwater fishing holiday, it’s important to consider travel insurance that covers any unforeseen events such as trip cancellations or delays due to inclement weather or natural disasters.

If so, you need a policy which offers specialized coverage. Secondly, consider your personal needs – any pre-existing medical conditions, and select a plan with the proper medical coverage.

Next, research and compare the various insurance providers. Make sure the company has a good reputation and offers comprehensive coverage at competitive prices. Read customer reviews and ratings to get an idea of their experiences. If uncertain, consult a travel agent or an insurance specialist.

Finally, take into account any unique details of your trip which might affect the provider you choose.

With the insurance payout, he was able to replace his gear and continue his fishing adventure. This shows the importance of having the right insurance protection for fishing trips.

Understanding Medical Evacuation Insurance

Medical evacuation insurance is a must for anglers planning a fishing trip. It provides coverage for emergency medical transport , so you can get timely and suitable medical care if you have an accident or get sick. Plus, it gives you peace of mind that you’ll be brought to a medical facility that can give you the right treatment.

When you go fishing in a remote spot, medical care can be hard to get. That’s where medical evacuation insurance comes in. It makes sure that you’re quickly transported to a place with the right care, and it covers the cost of ground or air transportation – even if it means going to another country . It also looks after the coordination and logistics. This goes beyond standard medical insurance which may only cover you in one area.

Pro Tip: Choose your medical evacuation insurance wisely. Check the terms and conditions, coverage limits, geographic restrictions, and any pre-existing condition exclusions. Pick a plan that meets your needs and offers enough coverage in case of emergencies during the trip.

How to Obtain Trip Insurance

To get insurance for fishing/angling trips, you must follow these steps:

  • Research : Find companies that specialize in trip insurance for this type of activity.
  • Compare : Look at all the policies and check for coverage of equipment, medical costs, trip cancellation, and more.
  • Assess : Make sure the coverage is enough for the trip’s needs.
  • Purchase : After researching and comparing, buy the policy. Read the terms and conditions before buying.

Also, some insurance providers may offer extra benefits for fishing/angling trips, such as coverage for lost/damaged gear, emergency medical evac from remote fishing spots, or access to experienced guides for fishing-related emergencies. Check for these details when obtaining trip insurance for destination fishing and angling trips.

Additional Resources

Travel insurance is essential for any angler or fisher planning a destination trip. It offers coverage for possible issues that may arise during the journey, giving peace of mind.

  • Medical Emergencies: Medical emergencies are covered, from hospital fees, to doctor check-ups and medication costs. This means travelers can get needed treatment without worrying about the finances.
  • Cancellation & Trip Interruption: There are usually considerable upfront expenses when organizing a fishing trip. Travel insurance can help reimburse these if the trip gets cancelled or interrupted due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness, injury or natural disasters.
  • Equipment Loss or Damage: Fishing equipment can be costly. So, travel insurance can cover loss, theft or damage of the gear during the trip, compensating for its value so anglers can get back to their hobby.

Plus, other benefits may be included such as lost baggage, medical evacuation and travel assistance – so it’s important to read up on the policy.

Overall, travel insurance is a great resource for fishers and anglers going on destination trips. It covers medical emergency, cancellation or interruption and equipment loss or damage. It can also include extra benefits for a worry-free experience.

Travel Insurance

After speaking with a number of different insurance companies I have found out that one of their favourite answers to any question is please refer to the PDF to see if your question/concern is covered. I’m not sure about you but 90 pages of different exemptions or indeed a combination of non-exemptions that become exemptions if they all happen is ridiculously confusing.

They have to answer your specific questions. This is why it is absolutely important to make sure you leave plenty of time to get your travel insurance Make sure that your travel insurance covers you for the things that you are concerned about.

***********************************************************

I grew up in far north Queensland on a sugarcane farm. Insurance back in those days was wearing a beating up old motorcycle helmet when riding the peewee 50. The first time I got a new motorcycle helmet I was so excited… It was bright yellow (what were they thinking)? The first time I wore it on my beloved peewee 50, one of the horses jumped in front of me and I hit my head badly bruising my cheek.

That old beaten up motorcycle helmet I was wearing the weekend before would have been of no help at all. My new motorcycle helmet didn’t stop me from having the accident but it most certainly helped me.

Even though it was more than 40 years ago I can still remember that I wanted to get the cool black open face helmet. That’s what one of the workers on the farm had and to me he was the Marlboro man. My mum didn’t have much time for the Marlboro man nor did she have any time for the black open face helmet.

That’s what travel insurance means to me. It is not going to stop things from happening but it is going to help you after the event.

We recommend you take out a travel insurance policy for domestic and international travel.

Please take time to find the travel insurance policy that suits your needs. If possible ask your questions via email so there is a record. Below are the things that are important:

  • Does my cover include my current medical condition?
  • If there is a cyclone and they have to cancel the charter am I covered?
  • If we are stuck somewhere due to a cyclonic event is our extra accommodation and expenses covered?
  • If the operator cancels the charter with at giving a reason am I covered?
  • If bad weather interrupts the charter can I claimed for the portion that we were not able to complete?
  • If we are more than 10 nautical miles from the nearest land point/landmass is the policy still active?

Booze, drinking or a casual beer

Many of the policies make mention to alcohol and not drinking. It is my recommendation that whilst out on the boat on your Fishing Charter not to drink any alcohol. Many locations it is prohibited because of traditional ownership and or liquor bans. Having a beer at the end of the day back at the lodge or on the mothership is most definitely worth the wait.

It is important to make sure that your guide adheres to no drinking whilst operating your guided boat. All the policies that we have looked at have an alcohol exemption. It is critically important that your guide does not drink any alcohol during the day whilst operating your vessel/Boat/car etc etc.

Travel insurance can include cover for:

  • Lost documents
  • Lost luggage and travel delays
  • 24/7 medical assistance
  • Rental car excess
  • And more hey is the most important part of your travel insurance policy. What is the more?

Will I Be Covered If I Miss My Fishing Tour?

What if i lose or damage rental fishing equipment.

It is important to know that different insurance policies often have different requirements when it comes to COVID-19 cover. For example, if you purchase a policy within 21 days of your departure date, and you have already booked other parts of your travel (like flights, tours or accommodation), you may not be covered for those pre-booked components already paid for if you are diagnosed with COVID-19 before you leave and are unable to travel. Make sure you check and understand the insurance policy conditions before purchasing.

Below are some hints and tips from one of the insurance companies that offer domestic fishing travel insurance.

Stay Safe: Fishing Top Tips 

Weather conditions.

Check tides, swell and weather conditions before setting out, and avoiding fishing in exposed areas during rough or large seas.

Take A Friend

Life jackets are a must, handle fishing gear with care.

Fishing equipment can be dangerous, so it’s important to seek guidance when you first start. When casting a line, look behind you, be very careful when unhooking fish, and store hooks so that they aren’t exposed.

Avoid Alcohol

Like all activities near the water, alcohol should probably be avoided. After all, studies show that the chances of being involved in a boating accident doubles when there is alcohol involved. And since fishing and boating go together, it’s best to abstain – and the same goes for fishing on land.

There is much ambiguity when it comes to the wording of any insurance policy on the surface.  In a policy there maybe a recommendation for example; that you do not drink alcohol. In the product disclosure there may be a reference to alcohol voiding any policy claim. These are things to look out for. 

This is a bit of a conversation in one of the chat programs of a major travel insurance company that is actually underwritten by Lloyd’s of London.

Me: There are a number of exemptions regarding alcohol. Are these exemptions for any alcohol or are the exemptions if you are over the legal limit?

Insurance company:  Any alcohol is exempted

Me:  So for example if we are having dinner on our Fishing Charter having a glass of wine and something happens. Does that mean  that glass of wine exempts any thing that happens? Or is it only to do with personal injury? To use another more ridiculous scenario we are sharing a bottle of wine with our fishing group and there is a cyclone. Will we be covered for the loss of the charter and loss of our equipment/gear. How do you determine if alcohol is involved? Do you require a blood test or is it simply hearsay?

Insurance company: Unfortunately, I can provide general advice only, claims will assess based on a variety of factors against our PDS wording. The claims team will advise at any point in a claim if further evidence or documentation is needed to assess the best outcome for your claim.

Me: You actually do need to be able to answer my questions. I have asked specific questions to do with your exemptions

Insurance company:  Yes, Sure Insurance company: If you provide me with your best contact number I can arrange a call back for you Insurance company: Your request for a call back has been forwarded to Sales. I’m afraid I can’t predict when they’ll call because they have a large backlog of call back requests. I can tell you that they’re online Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., and I’ve prioritised your request so that they try to contact you within the 24 to 48 business hours. If they are unable to contact you, they will leave a voicemail (if one is available) or send you an email to let you know of their attempt. Insurance company: The information provided is of a general nature only and does not take into account any particular personal objectives, financial situation or needs. Before making a decision you should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to your personal objectives, needs and circumstances

I am still waiting for the call.

How is Fishing Insurance different?

Despite fishing being generally considered as a safe sport that is enjoyed by people of all ages, there are certain risks associated with it.

Incidents such as minor burns from overhead electric power lines or drowning following a slip or fall have been reported, therefore insurance is always recommended for your fishing activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our Fishing Travel Insurance can generally be taken out even if you have a medical condition. We can almost always offer cover at no extra cost, but occasionally our underwriters may apply special terms if you subsequently needed to make a claim relating to your condition.

Yes – we don’t consider a fishing or angling competition to be riskier than doing the activity as a leisure pursuit, so we don’t charge a higher premium for that.

Travel Insurance Types: Which One Is Right for You?

There are several types of travel insurance you'll want to evaluate before choosing the policy that's right for you. A few of the most popular types of travel insurance include:

COVID travel insurance Select insurance plans offer some or a combination of the following COVID-19-related protections: coverage for rapid or PCR testing; accommodations if you're required to quarantine during your trip if you test positive for coronavirus; health care; and trip cancellations due to you or a family member testing positive for COVID-19. Read more about the best COVID-19 travel insurance options .

Cancel for any reason insurance Cancel for any reason travel insurance works exactly how it sounds. This type of travel insurance lets you cancel your trip for any reason you want – even if your reason is that you simply decide you no longer want to go. Cancel for any reason travel insurance is typically an add-on you can purchase to go along with other types of travel insurance. For that reason, you will pay more to have this kind of coverage added to your policy.

Also note that this type of coverage typically only reimburses 50% to 80% of your nonrefundable prepaid travel expenses. You'll want to make sure you know exactly how much reimbursement you could qualify for before you invest in this type of policy. Compare the best cancel for any reason travel insurance options here .

International travel insurance Travel insurance is especially useful when traveling internationally, as it can provide medical coverage for emergencies (in some cases for COVID-19) when you're far from home. Depending which international travel insurance plan you choose, this type of travel insurance can also cover lost or delayed luggage, rental cars, travel interruptions or cancellations, and more.

Cheap travel insurance If you want travel insurance but don't want to spend a lot of money, there are plenty of cheap travel insurance options that will offer at least some protections (and peace of mind). These are typically called a company's basic or standard plan; many travel insurance companies even allow you to customize your coverage, spending as little or as much as you want. Explore your options for the cheapest travel insurance here .

Trip cancellation, interruption and delay insurance Trip cancellation coverage can help you get reimbursement for prepaid travel expenses, such as your airfare and cruise fare, if your trip is ultimately canceled for a covered reason. Trip interruption insurance, on the other hand, kicks in to reimburse you if your trip is derailed after it starts. For instance, if you arrived at your destination and became gravely ill, it would cover the cost if you had to cut your trip short.

Trip delay insurance can help you qualify for reimbursement of any unexpected expenses you incur (think: lodging, transportation and food) in the event your trip is delayed for reasons beyond your control, such as your flight being canceled and rebooked for the next day. You will want to save your receipts to substantiate your claim if you have this coverage.

Lost, damaged, delayed or stolen bags or personal belongings Coverage for lost or stolen bags can come in handy if your checked luggage is lost by your airline or your luggage is delayed so long that you have to buy clothing and toiletries for your trip. This type of coverage can kick in to cover the cost to replace lost or stolen items you brought on your trip. It can also provide coverage for the baggage itself. It's even possible that your travel insurance policy will pay for your flight home if damages are caused to your residence and your belongings while you're away, forcing you to return home immediately.

Travel medical insurance If you find yourself sick or injured while you are on vacation, emergency medical coverage can pay for your medical expenses. With that in mind, however, you will need to find out whether the travel medical insurance you buy is primary or secondary. Where a primary policy can be used right away to cover medical bills incurred while you travel, secondary coverage only provides reimbursement after you have exhausted other medical policies you have.

You will also need to know how the travel medical coverage you purchase deals with any preexisting conditions you have, including whether you will have any coverage for preexisting conditions at all. Read more about the best travel medical insurance plans .

Evacuation insurance Imagine you break your leg while on the side of a mountain in some far-flung land without quality health care. Not only would you need travel medical insurance coverage in that case, but you would also need coverage for the exorbitant expense involved in getting you off the side of a mountain and flying you home where you can receive appropriate medical care.

Evacuation coverage can come in handy if you need it, but you will want to make sure any coverage you buy comes with incredibly high limits. According to Squaremouth, an emergency evacuation can easily cost $25,000 in North America and up to $50,000 in Europe, so the site typically suggests customers buy policies with $50,000 to $100,000 in emergency evacuation coverage.

Cruise insurance Travel delays; missed connections, tours or excursions; and cruise ship disablement (when a ship encounters a mechanical issue and is unable to continue on in the journey) are just a few examples why cruise insurance can be a useful protection if you've booked a cruise vacation. Learn more about the top cruise insurance plans here .

Credit card travel insurance It is not uncommon to find credit cards that include trip cancellation and interruption coverage , trip delay insurance, lost or delayed baggage coverage, travel accident insurance, and more. Cards that offer this coverage include popular options like the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card , the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card and The Platinum Card from American Express . 

Note that owning a credit card with travel insurance protection is not enough for your coverage to count: To take advantage of credit card travel insurance, you must pay for prepaid travel expenses like your airfare, hotel stay or cruise with that specific credit card. Also, note that credit cards with travel insurance have their own list of exclusions to watch out for. Many also require cardholders to pay an annual fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to buy travel insurance is normally within a few weeks of booking your trip since you may qualify for lower pricing if you book early. Keep in mind, some travel insurance providers allow you to purchase plans until the day before you depart.

Many times, you are given the option to purchase travel insurance when you book your airfare, accommodations or vacation package. Travel insurance and travel protection are frequently offered as add-ons for your trip, meaning you can pay for your vacation and some level of travel insurance at the same time.

However, many people choose to wait to buy travel insurance until after their entire vacation is booked and paid for. This helps travelers tally up all the underlying costs associated with a trip, and then choose their travel insurance provider and the level of coverage they want.

Figuring out where to buy travel insurance may be confusing but you can easily research and purchase travel insurance online these days. Some consumers prefer to shop around with a specific provider, such as Allianz or Travelex, but you can also shop and compare policies with a travel insurance platform. Popular options include:

  • TravelInsurance.com: TravelInsurance.com offers travel insurance options from more than a dozen vetted insurance providers. Users can read reviews on the various travel insurance providers to find out more about previous travelers' experiences with them. Squaremouth: With Squaremouth, you can enter your trip details and compare more than 90 travel insurance plans from 20-plus providers.
  • InsureMyTrip: InsureMyTrip works similarly, letting you shop around and compare plans from more than 20 travel insurance providers in one place. InsureMyTrip also offers several guarantees, including a Best Price Guarantee, a Best Plan Guarantee and a Money-Back Guarantee that promises a full refund if you decide you no longer need the plan you purchased.

When you need to file a travel insurance claim, you should plan on explaining to your provider what happened to your trip and why you think your policy applies. If you planned to go on a Caribbean cruise, but your husband fell gravely ill the night before you were set to depart, you would need to explain that situation to your travel insurance company. Information you should share with your provider includes the details of why you're making a claim, who was involved and the exact circumstances of your loss.

Documentation is important, and your travel insurance provider will ask for proof of what happened. Required documentation for travel insurance typically includes any proof of a delay, receipts, copies of medical bills and more.

Most travel insurance companies let you file a claim using an online form, but some also allow you to file a claim by phone or via fax. Some travel insurance providers, such as Allianz and Travel Insured International, offer their own mobile apps you can use to buy policies and upload information or documents that substantiate your claim. In any case, you will need to provide the company with proof of your claim and the circumstances that caused it.

If your claim is initially denied, you may also need to answer some questions or submit some additional information that can highlight why you do, in fact, qualify.

Whatever you do, be honest and forthcoming with all the information in your claim. Also, be willing to provide more information or answer any questions when asked.

Travel insurance claims typically take four to six weeks to process once you file with your insurance company. However, with various flight delays and cancellations due to things like extreme weather and pilot shortages, more travelers have begun purchasing travel insurance, encountering trip issues and having to submit claims. The higher volume of claims submitted has resulted in slower turnaround times at some insurance companies.

The longer you take to file your travel insurance claim after a loss, the longer you will be waiting for reimbursement. Also note that, with many travel insurance providers, there is a time limit on how long you can submit claims after a trip. For example, with Allianz Travel Insurance and Travelex Insurance Services, you have 90 days from the date of your loss to file a claim.

You may be able to expedite the claim if you provide all the required information upfront, whereas the process could drag on longer than it needs to if you delay filing a claim or the company has to follow up with you to get more information.

Travel insurance is never required, and only you can decide whether or not it's right for you. Check out Is Travel Insurance Worth It? to see some common situations where it does (and doesn't) make sense.
