    I’m sure I’m not the only one that will be affected by this. Novamar Insurance Group, Inc. (Agent) just sent me notice that my boat insurance will not renewed; National Specialty Insurance Company, Bedford, TX (Underwriter). They will no longer insure older boats valued under $125,000. Anyone have a good suggestion for an Agent / Underwriter, to contact in Florida that would insure a 1992 42’ Ocean SF $110-115,000 Value. Not really excited in Lloyds or Geico.

    I (thankfully) haven't had any claims etc with them so can't speak to that part of the process, but Charter Lakes has been easy to use, always responsive and has had competitive rates every time I've shopped it. The rep I've always worked with there is Kyle D.

    Actually there is a problem working with them cross Atlantic. If you're in the US, you must work with Pantaenius America.
