Markel American Insurance Teams with Elton Porter Marine on Ultra High Performance Program

Markel American Insurance Company (rated “A (Excellent), XII” by A.M. Best) has teamed up with Elton Porter Marine Insurance Agency to offer a new Ultra High Performance Program. This program provides hull and liability coverage for ultra high performance boats with speeds ranging between 120mph and 150mph.

We’re pleased to provide the owners of ultra high performance boats the benefits of our experience and expertise gained through our longevity in insuring boats with speeds up to 120mph. We are committed to the marine insurance industry and enthusiastic about the opportunity to expand our marine product diversity.”
