Destination Insight
Where is popular to go fishing?
Fishing is enjoyed worldwide, with freshwater angling popular in destinations such as Canada and Norway, where lakes and rivers attract travelling anglers year-round. Sea fishing is common in coastal regions including Australia, Mexico and the Maldives, while offshore fishing trips are widely available through organised charters in destinations such as Florida, the Seychelles and parts of the Caribbean.
Many travellers take part through guided excursions or licensed fishing boats, particularly when fishing at sea.
Here's why fishing travel insurance matters:
Fishing often takes place close to water or in remote areas, and when fishing offshore, access to medical help may be delayed. Slips on wet surfaces, hook-related injuries and strains are all possible, particularly when handling equipment or moving on boats.
Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong while youre taking part.
Helpful travel tips
- Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear, particularly on wet riverbanks, jetties or boats.Use safe casting distances and remain aware of others nearby.Handle hooks, lines and tackle carefully to avoid cuts or puncture injuries
- When fishing from a boat, wear a life jacket where recommended and maintain balance when the vessel is moving
- Avoid handling large fish without support and secure equipment when not in use
- Always follow the instructions provided by the activity organiser and adhere to any safety recommendations made, including wearing appropriate safety equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, fishing can be covered by ActivitySure, but it depends where you’ll be fishing. Freshwater angling or fishing is covered as standard, while sea fishing needs to be added to your policy for cover to apply. It’s treated differently from freshwater fishing because the setting, conditions, and risks can vary more.
Freshwater fishing usually takes place on rivers, lakes, ponds, or reservoirs. Sea fishing can involve coastal locations, boats, deeper water, changing tides, and different weather conditions, so it must be selected separately.
Yes, you may be covered for emergency medical expenses if you’re injured while fishing, provided you have the correct activity cover in place. Freshwater fishing is covered as standard, but sea fishing must be shown on your policy.
If you’re fishing from a boat at sea, you should select sea fishing. A freshwater fishing trip on a lake or river is different from going out on a sea fishing excursion.
Not automatically. If you want cover for your own or hired fishing equipment against loss, theft, or damage, you’ll need to add Sports Equipment Cover when arranging your policy. Limits and exclusions apply, so it’s important to check the Policy Wording.
