Alan R. Mott (Alan R. Mott Agency, Inc. - Marine Insurance) does a huge business in my neck of the woods. Excellent rates and easy to deal with.

I can reccomend a company to avoid... USAA they outsource and use progressive... the cost is 70% the price of my boat per year.

Hartge Insurance, out of Maryland, is a good agent to use. Christine handles the personal Yatch policies and can probably find one to suit your needs.

You can reach her at:

l0keman: WTFrig? Did you write off 5 boats in a row? My insurance is 1% of my boat's value and this is my first year owning a boat.

BoatUS works for me (33 year old 24' sailboat), pretty inexpensive and painless to deal with.

Kind of depends on what you paid for your boat, now doesn't it...

Ditto BoatUS, I've bought CNA coverage through them for seven years, excellent service and very easy to work with. I highly recommend.

hmmm, I just enrolled through USAA and they outsourced me through Markel Marine Insurance because of my boat specs. I have a 25 year old boat first time owner and they insured me for about 1% of my boat value with coverage on the entire east coast to bahamas, excluding hurrican season.

I use Allstate. The same folks that have the rest of my insurance and it is about 1%. i am in a landlocked lake though.
