Programs for Smooth Sailing

Owning a boatyard or operating a vessel comes with unique rewards, but also unusual risks. You need a marine specialist who knows the business as well as you do to help manage them.

At Hilb Group, our marine specialists speak your language. We’ve worked on the docks, for boat builders, maintained yachts, and delivered them. We’ve also worked as underwriters and claims adjustors. With decades of experience, we translate this hands-on knowledge into successful insurance programs known in ports across the country, from Newport to San Diego to St. Thomas.

We offer several specialized programs to meet your specific needs:

HarborTow Developed for marine-assistance towers and salvors, HarborTow provides comprehensive coverage for liability, diving, hull & machinery, and equipment. It integrates general and marine liability on one form for one price, combining underwriting strength with marine expertise.

HarborPro HarborPro covers a wide array of marine risks, including repair, dock building, yacht detailing, and passenger-boat operations. Similar to HarborTow, it blends general and marine liability coverage into a single, straightforward policy.

HarborGuard Endorsed by the American Sailing Association, HarborGuard is designed for boating schools, clubs, and charter-boat fleets. It offers Hull, P&I, and Business Liability, with charterers and students specifically included as Named Insureds to ensure they are also covered. We also offer Loss of Charter income, premises, participant liability, and Jones Act coverage.

We recognize your time is valuable. That’s why our application is simple and concise—just three pages compared to the lengthy applications of our competitors. When you have a busy boatyard to run, there’s no comparison.

Complete our simple application, and a licensed Hilb Group broker will assess your current coverage and identify any gaps.
