Wooden boat insurance policy-Alaska

Greetings to the Forum.

An inquiry for assistance is being made. The current owner of our past wood boat along with other wood boat owners, in Ketchikan Alaska recently received notice that wood boat insurance policies will not be continued. This apparently addresses both hull/liability and stand alone liability policies.

As there are many quality wood boats remaining in the pleasure boat field it is thought that members of the forum may have suggestions as to underwriters addressing wood boat coverage, particularly in the simple stand alone liability policy


This inquiry relates to Alaska in particular to which we seek information, yet may be subject for general discussion .

Looking forward to the responses,

The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.

That is news to me, as we have an office in Anchorage, a huge insured market throughout the state, and have not heard anything about this. If you have any info on this, would you mind passing it to me? My email address is peter@anchormarineinsurance.com.

Sounds like a single insurance market (company) has decided to stop offering policies in AK, and (based on the game of telephone) that information morphed into the purported blanket cancellation of policies.....

Followup- insurance for wooden boats in Alaska is alive and well!
