Hi folks,

Still making up my mind on marinas in NZ for this year. Am I correct in assuming most of these places are going to require I have some sort of insurance (liability at least)? I see a spot for it on the Westhaven berth rental form. And I see that the Opua Marina requires it. I've exchanged emails with Gulf Harbor but they haven't mentioned it yet.

I have ZERO insurance at the moment but I'll probably spend quite a bit of the next year in marinas in both NZ and OZ so I'm not against buying some sort of policy. My close-quarters marina driving skills leave much to be desired.

Any recommendations? I figure I might as well see what companies from NZ have to offer first.
