Question: We keep our boat at a marina which rumour has it my file for bankruptcy. Could we or our boat be in any jeopardy? We owe the marina no money.
Answer: If you own the boat, it does not form part of the assets of the marina, so if the marina goes bankrupt you should still be able to retrieve your boat. However, if the marina goes bankrupt and the trustee takes over the operations, there may be a period of time where access to the marina becomes difficult, so to be safe you could consider removing your boat now and storing it somewhere else.
