Insuring Fun Is Serious Business - We Protect the Risks Behind Your Attractions

Whether you run a Jersey Shore boardwalk arcade, a seasonal amusement park, a carnival ride operation, a concession stand, or a water park, you face unique risks that standard small business insurance doesn’t fully cover. High foot traffic, mechanical rides, expensive equipment, and coastal weather exposure mean your business needs specialized coverage designed for entertainment environments. One accident, ride malfunction, or weather event at the wrong time can jeopardize an entire season. We help New Jersey amusement businesses secure strong, tailored coverage that keeps you confident and compliant all year long.

What We Help With

General Liability Insurance (Higher Limits Recommended)
Essential for rides, arcades, entertainment booths, and high-traffic areas, general liability protects your business if a guest is injured, a ride malfunctions, or someone slips on your property. Because claims at amusement and boardwalk operations can escalate quickly, many operators supplement their core liability coverage with anumbrella policy to extend protection beyond standard limits.


Commercial Property Insurance
Protects boardwalk shops, rides, games, arcades, concession stands, inventory, and equipment from fire, theft, vandalism, and coastal weather events.Commercial property insurance is essential for seasonal and waterfront businesses exposed to storms, salt air, and heavy public traffic throughout peak months.

Equipment Breakdown Coverage
Covers mechanical or electrical failure of rides, arcade machines, generators, and other essential equipment—helping you avoid costly downtime during peak season when closures directly impact revenue.


Business Interruption (Critical for Seasonal Operations)
If a fire, storm, or equipment failure shuts you down during the summer months, this coverage helps replace lost income during closure. As part of a broaderbusiness insurance strategy, business interruption coverage helps seasonal operators stay financially stable even after a major loss.


Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Required in New Jersey if you have employees—including seasonal staff—workers’ comp covers medical care and lost wages for workplace injuries and helps protect your business from employee-related lawsuits.

Tools, Games & Mobile Equipment (Inland Marine)
Ideal for carnival operators, traveling booths, and pop-up game vendors, this coverage protects tools, games, and mobile equipment while in transit or set up at multiple locations. These policies are commonly structured within broadersmall business insurance programs for flexible, mobile operations.


Specialty Add-Ons (As Needed)
Depending on your operation, additional options such as participant accident coverage, liquor liability for food and drink stands, or prize indemnity for arcade jackpots may be available. Coverage is customized based on your attractions, foot traffic, and operating schedule.

Your Amusement & Boardwalk Business Insurance Questions, Answered Clearly

  • What insurance do I need for a boardwalk arcade or amusement ride?

    Most need liability, property, equipment breakdown, and workers’ comp. Larger attractions may also need higher liability limits or an umbrella policy.

  • Can seasonal businesses get short-term coverage?

    Yes—many policies can be structured around seasonal operations or adjusted to avoid overpaying during the off-season.

  • How much liability coverage do I need?

    Amusement operations usually require higher limits than typical small businesses. We often recommend pairing liability with an umbrella policy.

  • Are my seasonal employees covered?

    Seasonal workers must be covered under workers’ comp if they’re on payroll.

  • Does business interruption cover weather-related closures?

    It may cover closures due to a covered loss (like fire or equipment breakdown). Standard policies do not cover lost income solely due to bad weather.

  • Will my policy cover my carnival rides or mobile booths when I travel?

    Yes—tools, games, and mobile equipment can be covered through inland marine or similar policies.
