Public Liability Insurance vs Indemnity Form

[ReaderScars]

I'm very seriously considering operating a business which is based around hiring out a particular type of powered watercraft to the public at beaches.

I'm having trouble finding a broker who can offer cover against damage or theft in transit and public liability.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places and cover exists but if not, would asking customers to sign an indemity form be a waste of time - ie, would I be sued into oblivion if someone was injured during the use of this watercaft (not a jet ski or similar)?

Thanks for the responses and the clarification N-J.

As mentioned I have tried marine brokers without success yet, which is why I sent you a PM a couple of weeks ago, insurance_jon! (although I did say I expected you may not be able to help in this case)

Thanks guys, PMs will be sent.
