Inland Marine Coverage

 

Navigators provides Inland Marine coverages for artisan/trade contractors for both commercial and residential work. It is designed to meet the needs of small artisan contractors conducting business within the trades and construction industry. There is no limit on the size of non-internet policies. Policies may be written for one year and renewed annually. Tract work is allowed in this program.

The Navigators program, with a manual submission, can be a much more broad submission and include much higher limits, buildings and other real property not included in the online program. Contact your Underwriter with any questions on unusual or large Property or Inland Marine prospects. Please submit Acord Applications for these Property or Inland Marine prospects.
