MRA Conference To Feature “Boat Rental Best Practices” Session

This year’s Annual MRA Educational Conference & Trade Show, will feature a special breakout seminar session “Boat Rental Best Practices” on October 12 at 2:00 p.m. to provide boat rental operators with suggested policies and best business practices for creating and maintaining a well-run boat rental business.

Otis Felder of Wilson Elser, LLC and Barbara Galgiani of LP Insurance Services, LLC will lead the seminar discussion focused on what boat rental operators can do to better provide a safe and sound rental environment for themselves and their customers. Both Felder and Galgiani have extensive knowledge and experience working with boat rental operations providing insurance coverage and legal defense for claims against rental operators. There will also be a review of a new boat rental document, including a guide for boat rental operators to consider, now being created by a working group of MRA members from boat rental facilities across the West. The discussion will also cover the importance of contract language and structure of boat rental contracts.
