I have the boat insured with Markel with E.Porter, that isn't the problem.

My umbrella coverage (same company that insures my house and all my vehicles) just sent me a notice that the boat is excluded due to it's performance.

17 years of boating without one claim too. In fact, I never make any insurance claim.....ever!

Any one else in this predicament? How did you resolve it? or better yet with whom?

sy goldberg... he does things for me and my cigarette buddies.. few of my ol buddies too, but we dont talk about that... pm me ill get you hhis number.... stecz

Most companies won't even write an umbrella policy unless you have everything with them including house, cars and boat. It doesn't surprise me that they excluded it.

Seventeen years without a claim. The ins. co may figure about due for one. Thats been known to happen

Michael, my umbrella is with state farm and no issues whatsoever, send them a nice letter that you will now be searching for a new insurance company for your home, cars, and even your business...see if they reconsider, if not start looking elsewhere..Who are you with now?
my boat is with ACE, and everything else is with state farm, they wouldn't insure the boat anyhow.

call porter back... they have a new underwriter other than markel great rates

It is Western National through my Independent broker. They never wanted to touch the boat in the first place. They are definitely going to loose all my business. Boat with EP is $4200 a year with layup. House, cars, business is another $6000 a year. Credit score over 800 also. Sheesh.

Who is that? Solid company?

Bingo!

We have everything through AIG Private Client Group. Our friends at www.ThorsonInsurance.com help us deal with this.....ask for Tracey Thorson and say Nort recommended them! We have $5Mil umbrella on top of everything else......

They refused to insure the boat and were just fine with the arrangement for the last 4 years.
