The sport fishing boat industry is focused on renting associated sea vessels to parties who wish to partake in the deep sea fishing experience. Game catches focus on species, such as tuna, marlin, swordfish, sharks and others.

Like the commercial watercraft, sport fishing boats require property and hull liability insurance that encompasses hull, passenger and crew member aspect of coverage. Insurance is available through underwriting companies, specialized in marine insurance protection.

Sport fishing boat insurance is obtainable for US vessels operating off the coast of bodies of warm water, like the West Indies, the Bahamas, Mexico, Hawaii, and the off the United States and Gulf of Mexico Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
