Classic Boats Deserve Classic Coverage

Hagerty is the largest insurance agency for collector boats in the United States today. How did we get here? We were the first and continue to be the best to offer Agreed Value insurance for classic and wooden boats.

It all started in a little resort town in Northern Lower Michigan with a wooden boat named Pipe Dream. Its proud owners, Frank and Louise Hagerty, had run a successful general insurance agency for many years yet found it impossible to find coverage for their classic craft. The Hagertys saw a niche to be filled and in 1983, they combined their insurance expertise with their love for wooden boats and formed Hagerty Classic Marine Insurance Agency.

Our vision has been unwavering for more than 20 years: work to preserve and protect these unique classics, and support the hobbyists who enjoy them. After all, collector boat owners are among the safest, most conscientious boaters on the water. Why not reward them with competitive rates, the most comprehensive insurance coverage and the best benefits available in the industry? Additionally, we offer:

  • No depreciation
  • Low rates
  • Club discounts
  • Flexible navigation
  • In-house claims service
  • Unlimited land transportation
  • Fast and courteous customer service

    Thank you for your interest in Hagerty. For more information, e-mail marine@hagerty.com or call 800-762-2628. We hope to see you on the water!
