Discontent Rises in Honolulu’s Boating Community Over Mooring Permit Insurance Regulations

Friday, Jul. 19th 2024 10:00 AM

In recent news from Honolulu, the state’s boating community is facing discontent over insurance regulations pertaining to mooring permits. According to reports, boat owners are mandated to obtain $100,000 in insurance coverage for salvaging their vessel in case of grounding, regardless of the boat’s actual value. This requirement has prompted an outcry among recreational boaters who were notified just a month ago by the state Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation that their mooring permits would not be renewed unless they secured the specified coverage for salvaging and removing a grounded vessel. Many boaters argue that the stipulated insurance rule is impractical and unfair, creating a challenge for individuals with boats valued at less than the required coverage amount. This development has sparked debate and raised concerns within the boating community, as stakeholders seek a resolution to this contentious issue.
