You don't mention is you have any other policy that covers this dock. Assuming that you don't, you should talk to your insurance agent and explore your options. For example, if you have a business policy or personal homeowners policy, it may work that you purchase "personal umbrella" coverage. Or, you may see about getting a standalone liability policy. Insurers differ greatly in their underwriting approaches but generally they are not looking to write liability-only policies on a risk class such as marinas, docks, etc. Be forewarned that you may end up in what is called the E & S market. This stands for "Excess & Surplus" and there are carriers who write "unusual" or "less than desirable" types of risks. Granted that their premiums are higher priced but this is based on the actual risk written.
To insure a boat dock, start by contacting an insurance agent who specializes in marine or property insurance. Provide details about the dock's location, construction materials, size, and any additional features. Ensure you understand the coverage options, including liability, damage from weather events, and potential theft of equipment. Finally, review the policy annually to adjust coverage as needed.

When you jump from a floating boat to a dock, the boat is also moving slightly on the water. Your momentum is aligned with the boat's motion rather than the stationary dock, causing you to fall short of the destination on the dock.
It's liability insurance for a business. It contains a bunch of stuff a homeowner's policy, or a motorist's policy, would not. A restaurant would be covered against choking, food poisoning and adverse food reactions. My company is insured against someone falling off the loading dock.
