Marine Insurance in Maine
It's Your Business, Let's Protect Your Business from Shore to Sea
Protecting Maine's Maritime Tradition
Maine's commercial fishing industry has been the backbone of coastal communities for generations. From lobster boats and fishing vessels to marine contractors, waterfront businesses, and support operations working along the coast, marine businesses face unique risks that require specialized insurance solutions.
At Cheney Insurance, we understand the challenges of working on the water. We proudly work with commercial fishing vessels and marine businesses up and down the coast of Maine, helping owners protect their vessels, equipment, crews, and livelihoods.
Whether you're hauling lobster traps before sunrise, operating a fishing vessel offshore, managing a working waterfront business, or supporting Maine's maritime economy through marine-related services, having the right insurance protection is an important part of safeguarding your operation.
Insurance Designed for the Marine Industry
Marine operations face exposures that are very different from those of traditional businesses. Harsh weather conditions, vessel operations, equipment losses, crew injuries, and liability concerns require specialized coverage solutions designed specifically for the maritime industry.
Coverage solutions may include:
- Commercial Fishing Vessel Coverage
- Lobster Boats and Fishing Boats
- Hull and Machinery Coverage
- Protection & Indemnity (P&I) Coverage
- Crew Coverage
- Marine General Liability
- Gear and Equipment Protection
- Commercial Property Coverage
- Commercial Auto Insurance
- Commercial Umbrella Liability Coverage
- Commercial Docks and Waterfront Operations
- Marina and Marine Service Operations
Every marine operation is different, and the right insurance program should reflect the unique nature of your business, vessel operations, crew responsibilities, equipment, and the waters you work in.
Understanding Your Operation
At Cheney Insurance, we believe the best insurance program starts with understanding your business. We take the time to learn about your vessel, crew, fishing activities, equipment, waterfront operations, and long-term goals to help identify potential exposures and coverage needs.
Marine insurance can be complex, and details matter. Whether you operate a single vessel, own multiple boats, manage a fishing business, or support Maine's working waterfront through marine-related services, our team works to ensure your coverage reflects the realities of your operation.
As an independent insurance agency, we work with specialized marine insurance carriers that understand the unique risks facing Maine's maritime community.
More Than Just an Insurance Policy
At Cheney Insurance, we understand that your vessel is more than a piece of equipment—it's your livelihood.
A mechanical breakdown, severe storm, liability claim, or damage to critical gear can impact your ability to earn a living and support your family. That's why we take a proactive approach to helping marine business owners understand their risks and insurance options.
We believe insurance should be more than just a policy. Our team is here to answer questions, explain coverages, review changing business needs, and help ensure there are no unexpected gaps in protection.
Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our clients and provide the personalized service that Maine's commercial fishing and marine industries deserve.
