EXPERIENCE
Along with six offices in the US, Novamar is licensed in Mexico with an office in Puerto Vallarta
Our offices serve all coastal waters around the US, but we are especially proud to be able to service clients cruising the fantastic Mexican coastlines—both east and west. Mexico requires boaters to carry at minimum liability insurance from a company domiciled in Mexico. Novamar proudly fulfills that requirement with our office in Puerto Vallarta. When traveling in non-US jurisdiction waters, it is especially important to have a local contact in the time of need.

Here’s what our clients are saying
Thank you so much for the great service to date. From the first call I made to the claims dept. this has been a very comforting process. Whatever questions and concerns I’ve had were heard and the answers were clear and understandable. I’ve had a small business all my life and the insurance to protect my assets along the way. I have had to use a few of the policies over the years. None have come close to the service I have received from Seaworthy. Again a big thank you to my agency, Novamar, and Craig Chamberlain, Steve Sudol appraiser and my contact throughout this process, Bob Soper. His attention to our safety and fairness is most reassuring. I just wish you carried commercial and residential lines...
We did an insurance quote with Peter Ricks of Novamar Insurance after our current company raised our rates by nearly double. We didn’t hold out much hope but Peter was able to get us a replacement policy for our boat for less than our original policy. And the bonus was that his policy was actually much more comprehensive than our former policy. Peter was extremely fast and thorough throughout the entire process.
Based on our experience we would highly recommend Peter Ricks and Novamar Insurance for your marine insurance needs. He was absolutely professional from start to finish.
Keith, I just wanted to let you know how impressed Dave and Julia were with your service, and how grateful I am for you taking such good care of them. Thank you so much!
Best Regards,
