Guides & Outfitters Insurance
Taking clients into the backcountry means accepting responsibility for their safety in some of the most unpredictable environments on earth. Guides and Outfitters insurance gives outdoor professionals the specialized protection they need when an injury, a rescue, or a liability claim follows an adventure gone wrong.
Coverage for Every Trail, River, and Ridge You Lead
Guiding clients through wilderness, water, or mountain terrain is a profession built on skill, preparation, and trust. But even the most experienced guide cannot eliminate every risk that comes with leading paying clients into the outdoors. Equipment failures, weather events, client injuries, and rescue operations can all generate claims that a standard business policy was never designed to handle.
General Liability
Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your guided operations, including client injuries on the trail, at camp, on the water, or during any activity you lead and supervise.
Professional Liability
Covers claims alleging your guidance, instruction, or professional decisions caused a client harm, including incidents tied to route selection, equipment recommendations, and safety protocols you implemented or failed to implement.
Participant Accident Coverage
Covers medical expenses for clients injured during your guided activities, providing a first-response layer of protection that helps address injury claims quickly before they escalate into larger disputes.
Equipment and Gear Coverage
Protects your guides, vessels, vehicles, and specialized outdoor equipment against theft, damage, and loss that could take your operation offline between trips and cost you bookings you cannot afford to lose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your success is at the heart of everything we do. As trusted insurance agents, we’re here to provide clear answers and expert guidance, helping you navigate challenges, uncover opportunities, and achieve lasting growth.
Does a client waiver protect me from injury claims?
Waivers reduce exposure but rarely eliminate it. Courts can look past signed waivers when negligence or improper guidance is alleged. Liability coverage protects your operation when a waiver alone is not enough to stop a claim.
Are search and rescue costs covered under my policy?
Not automatically. Standard general liability does not cover rescue operation costs, which can be significant in remote terrain. Discussing rescue expense coverage or endorsements with your agent before the season starts ensures you are not absorbing those costs out of pocket when a client needs extraction.
Do I need different coverage for different activities like hunting, fishing, and rafting?
Yes. Different activities carry different risk profiles and some insurers restrict or exclude specific activities without proper endorsements. Disclosing every activity type you guide to your agent ensures your policy covers everything you lead, not just the activities your base policy assumes.
