Why choose Ripe for fishery insurance?

Owning a fishery or riparian area is an important responsibility within your community, which is why you may want to protect it through specialist insurance.

Fishery insurance through Ripe can help financially protect your club against risks such as building damage, equipment loss, or third-party claims from staff or visitors. You can build your own policy from the options available, depending on your needs, leaving you and local anglers free to enjoy your waters.

Cover in one place for clubs and organisations

Choose from the cover you want in one place, including Public Liability, Employers’ Liability and cover for property, so you can focus on running your Fishery.
Cover for employees and volunteers

From employees to volunteers, your team can be covered with a Fisheries policy.
Choose the cover you want for Fisheries

Insurance designed for Fisheries, allowing you to choose cover options, meaning you won't pay for any cover your organisation doesn't need.

Why consider fishery insurance?

If you employ staff or volunteers, Employers’ Liability cover is a legal requirement in most cases. Other fishery insurance options, such as Public Liability or Buildings cover, are not compulsory but could provide added financial protection.

For example, if a day ticket angler were to injure themselves by tripping on a wet platform, Public Liability cover could help with legal costs if a claim is made. Or if a storm damages the clubhouse roof, Buildings cover could help with repair costs. Fishery and riparian insurance through Ripe can include up to £10m Public Liability cover, up to £500k Building cover, plus financial protection for fixtures, contents, equipment, and more.

Fishery Insurance FAQs

Fishery insurance is designed for a wide range of people and organisations involved in managing waters. This could include private fishing club owners, riparian area owners, angling clubs, and associations that run day-ticket waters. Those who host community events or fishing competitions may also consider fishery insurance. Since no two fisheries are the same, policies can be built to reflect the size of your site and the level of protection you’d like in place.
Riparian owner insurance is a form of financial protection for people or organisations that own land alongside rivers, streams, or other waterways. It can help financially cover risks like damage to buildings, loss of equipment, or liability claims from employees or members of the public. In short, it can help to safeguard both your property and your responsibilities as a riparian owner.
