We work for you,
not for one carrier.

One call, every option.
When you call Progressive, they offer you Progressive. When you call BoatUS, they offer you BoatUS. When you call NBOA, we shop Progressive, Chubb, BoatUS, and more.
That's not a small difference. Marine insurance pricing and coverage vary dramatically by carrier. A policy that's ideal for a 24-foot center console in a freshwater lake is completely different from what a 42-foot flybridge in coastal Florida needs. Carriers specialize. The right match matters.
What you get with NBOA.
Something your direct carrier won't tell you.
Progressive — the largest boat insurer in the US — will not insure vessels over 35 feet in length or valued over $175,000 in hurricane-prone states, including Florida. If your center console, sportfish, or yacht falls outside those limits, Progressive will decline.
NBOA will find you a carrier who won't.
