Insurance Source needed

[shark 1007]

Hello folks

I have a 1986 52C. I’ve just spent several years going through things and she looks to be in pretty good shape. I let the insurance lapse while she was on the hard and I now have a wet slip in Port Canaveral.

The marina is giving me trouble about not having coverage at the moment and not naming them as a loss payee. I reached out to my insurance rep, He ensures my 38 rampage. He tells me that he only had a certain allocation to cover older vessels like mine.

Does anyone have a suggestion or a source? I could go with liability only if needed but would prefer basic coverage.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Do you have a current survey? There’s only a handful of markers writing these boats in the south east currently. I can help but survey is key.

Thanks for the quick response. I sent you a PM with my phone number.

I’m surprised your marina even let you in without proof of insurance. There have been so many berth fires they have been forced to protect themselves. Boat owners are suing the marina because they didn’t make sure owners of the boats that caused the fires were covered. Good luck.

Like anything these days, where there’s ri$k, there is a charge. But we’ve been with Boat U.S. For years on our 1978 53 MY. These days they’re underwritten by GEICO. ABOUT 3k per year, plus our Marina and HOA is listed as an additionally insured for $1M. We’re in CA. The docks are owned in a legal “dockominium”, just like a condo.

Give Keith Sargis with Novamar a call, he was by far the most professional, responsive, and get it gone guy involved in the purchase of insuring my 52c. (904) 293-0711

Not trying to hijack the thread but I also will be looking for insurance in Florida. Same boat same year as OP. Bought a home in Flagler Beach and boat will be in St Augustine. Current agent told me if I go south of Cumberland GA before Nov1 I have no coverage. He also told me due to year of my boat it’s going to be very difficult to insure in Fl as my home port. Do others on this site that live in Fl have issues with insurance due to hurricane risk? Are you covered for hurricane or is that an exclusion on policy? I plan to have a plan in place to pay the fee for a marina spot in St Augustine to haul in event of a hurricane. Was not something I even thought bout when making the decision to move to Florid from North Carolina ,having to deal with insurance coverage issue.
