in 2012, on our way from Panama heading toward Trinidad, we basically had to go through Venezuelan waters. Seaworthy, now Geico Marine said no. Our agent got a quote from Lloyds/TL Dallas. It was terrible. High deductible with lots of exclusions. An example; any damage caused by failure of cathodic protection was on our nickel. Our agent went back to the underwriters for Seaworthy and they finally said OK. We could stop at the outer islands but we could not land anywhere on the mainland.

A friends boat was struck by lighting in Costa Rica. Seaworthy flew in a surveyor. She paid the $250 deductible and they paid for the repairs.

We looked at Pantaenius when we were in Trinidad. At the time we had to be north of Brunswick, GA for hurricane season. We couldn't go south.

Seaworthy, now Geico covered us from Alaska to Florida and was/is easy to work with. Part of that maybe the agent though.
