Insurance Solutions in Clinton, CT
Clinton's Cedar Island Marina has been family-run since 1974 and offers about 400 slips on the town's working waterfront. Because the federal channel here has shoaled to under two feet in the past - conditions serious enough to require a 2019 dredging project - grounding and salvage coverage is a real concern for local boaters. We also help homeowners in the Clinton Beach Association, a state-chartered taxing district established in 1967 covering roughly 170 homes, understand where the association's coverage ends and their own homeowners and flood insurance must begin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about insuring boats, waterfront homes, and property in Clinton, Connecticut.
Why is grounding and salvage coverage important for boats in Clinton?
Clinton's federal channel has shoaled to under two feet in the past, a condition serious enough to require a 2019 dredging project. Because shoaling can recur over time, grounding and salvage coverage is an important part of a boat insurance policy here, especially for vessels based at Cedar Island Marina.
Does the Clinton Beach Association's coverage protect my individual home?
No. The Clinton Beach Association is a state-chartered taxing district established in 1967 covering roughly 170 homes, but its coverage and dues don't replace individual homeowners and flood insurance. Many owners assume the association's coverage extends to their own property - it doesn't, so you still need your own policy.
How big is Cedar Island Marina, and does that affect my boat insurance?
Cedar Island Marina has been family-run since 1974 and has about 400 slips. Whatever slip you're in, we tailor your boat insurance to your specific vessel and how you use the marina.
