Finding specialized entertainment insurance for unusual or high-risk venues can be tough, which is why brokers turn to Kinsale. Our Entertainment Division offers coverage across an exceptionally broad appetite, delivering creative, customized solutions for every account, large or small, straightforward or complex.

Explore some of our latest wins and imagine what we could do for your accounts.

1. Casino & Hotel: Betting on Better Terms Despite Heavy Losses

The stakes were high for a Nevada casino with 56 claims and $3.1M in payouts over nine years.  The incumbent carrier was was not going to renew the existing policy, but was willing to offer one option to continue coverage—at nearly double the premium and with a $250,000 SIR. The broker decided to make the safe bet and turn to Kinsale’s Entertainment team for better terms. Our underwriter quickly built a combined General Liability and Liquor Liability program with a reasonable deductible, without excluding the exposures driving the account’s losses.

Coverage: Commercial General Liability and Liquor Liability (occurrence)

2. Dude Ranch: The First Quote Is Never the Last Word

The carrier for a New York dude ranch was willing to cover a wide range of activities in one program: horseback riding, watersports, snow sports, and more. However, even with a likely renewal, their broker decided to shop for better pricing. He found it at Kinsale—that is until the agent bucked at our initial quote’s Assault & Battery exclusion. So, we removed the exclusion, moved to a per-occurrence deductible, and added structuring options to close any gaps. The revised terms won the account at a lower cost proving that even when the first quote needs some adjusting, we get right back in the saddle.

Coverage: Athletic Facility General Liability with Professional Services (occurrence)

3. Gymnastics Studio: Essential Coverage for Kids in Motion

Youth sports facilities that combine gymnastics, cheer, and other activities under one roof often find their General Liability policy excludes the participants themselves, creating a real risk for a business built around kids in motion. A Florida kids’ gym was facing an even bigger problem: it had been open for five years with no coverage of any kind. The broker brought the account to Kinsale, and even with no loss history, we created a GL policy with participant coverage and Professional Services coverage to keep the gym moving forward.
