Insurance Solutions in New London, CT
New London's working waterfront is unlike a typical recreational harbor, home to the fifth-generation, 145-plus-year-old Crocker's Boatyard and Burr's Marina, plus a busy mix of ferry and submarine-base traffic sharing the water with recreational boats. Our dedicated team provides tailored coverage for vessels, marine businesses, and waterfront homes, including the historic Victorians of the Pequot Colony, where rebuilding to modern standards can cost far more than a typical policy assumes. We also help residents understand exactly what the Shaw's Cove hurricane barrier, the region's only Army Corps of Engineers barrier, built in 1986, protects against, and where its protection ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about insuring boats, waterfront homes, and property in New London, Connecticut.
Does the Shaw's Cove hurricane barrier mean I don't need flood insurance in New London?
No. The Shaw's Cove barrier is the region's only Army Corps of Engineers hurricane barrier, built in 1986, and it provides real storm-surge protection for the area behind it, but it wasn't designed to stop every type of flooding and doesn't cover every property in the city. We help New London homeowners understand where they sit relative to the barrier and what flood coverage actually makes sense for their address.
I own a historic Victorian in the Pequot Colony. Will a standard policy cover a full rebuild?
Not necessarily. Many of the Pequot Colony's historic Victorian homes are insured closer to market value than to the true cost of rebuilding a century-old house to today's construction standards, which can leave a real gap if you ever need to fully rebuild. We work with owners of these homes to close that gap.
Is New London mainly a recreational boating harbor?
No, and that distinction matters for insurance. New London is a working port, with ferry service and submarine-base traffic sharing the water with recreational boaters and marine businesses like the 145-plus-year-old Crocker's Boatyard and Burr's Marina. We tailor marine coverage to reflect that mixed-use harbor rather than treating it like a purely recreational marina.
