It's Your Business, Let's Protect the Adventures You Lead
Proud to Support Maine's Guiding Tradition
Cheney Insurance is proud to be an affiliate member of the Maine Professional Guides Association and to support the dedicated men and women who help preserve Maine's outdoor heritage. As one of the oldest and most respected professions in the state, Maine Guides play an important role in connecting people with the natural beauty, traditions, and outdoor experiences that make Maine unique.
Whether you guide hunting trips, fishing excursions, wildlife tours, hiking adventures, snowmobile outings, paddling expeditions, or other outdoor recreation experiences, your clients depend on your expertise, professionalism, and commitment to safety.
At Cheney Insurance, we understand the unique risks and responsibilities that come with being a Maine Guide. That's why we work with guides throughout Maine to help protect their businesses, equipment, reputations, and livelihoods.
Insurance Designed for Maine Guides
No two guiding operations are exactly alike. Some guides operate independently, while others own sporting camps, provide lodging, employ staff, partner with outfitters, or offer specialized outdoor experiences throughout the year.
Many guides also rely upon valuable equipment and recreational vehicles to conduct their business, including boats, canoes, kayaks, ATVs, snowmobiles, trailers, sporting equipment, camps, and specialized gear. Ensuring these assets are properly insured is an important part of protecting your operation.
Coverage solutions may include:
- Commercial General Liability Insurance
- Commercial Auto Insurance
- Inland Marine Coverage for Equipment and Gear
- Commercial Property Insurance
- Workers' Compensation Insurance
- Professional Liability Coverage
- Commercial Umbrella Liability Coverage
- Coverage for Boats, ATVs, Snowmobiles, Trailers, and Other Business-Related Equipment
- Cyber Liability Insurance
- Special Event Coverage
The right insurance program depends on the activities you offer, where you operate, the equipment you use, and the clients you serve.
Understanding Your Operation
At Cheney Insurance, we believe the best insurance program starts with understanding your business. We take the time to learn about your guiding activities, equipment, vehicles, property, permits, and client interactions to help identify potential exposures and coverage gaps.
Whether you guide sportsmen in the North Woods, lead fishing trips on Maine's lakes and rivers, operate a sporting camp, provide outdoor recreation experiences along the coast, or offer year-round adventures throughout the state, we can help create an insurance program tailored to your operation.
Because we understand the unique nature of Maine's guiding industry, we recognize that your insurance needs may change depending on where you guide, who you work with, and the activities you offer.
Certificates of Insurance Matter
Many Maine Guides are required to provide Certificates of Insurance before operating on certain properties or partnering with other organizations.
Whether you're guiding on state-owned land, federal land, private timberlands, through a sporting camp, lodge, outfitter, landowner agreement, or special event, proof of insurance is often a requirement before clients can be taken into the field.
At Cheney Insurance, we take pride in providing accurate and timely Certificates of Insurance for our guides. We understand that these certificates are often essential to securing permits, maintaining partnerships, meeting contractual requirements, and keeping your business running smoothly.
Our team carefully reviews certificate requests to help ensure information is current, accurate, and reflects the insurance requirements requested by the organization, landowner, lodge, or agency whenever possible.
Because details matter, we believe taking the time to get it right helps protect both our clients and the organizations they work with.
