About Markel American Insurance Company (MAIC) 
At Markel American we believe that watercraft are unique.  They are not floating cars or floating motorcycles, so they should be insured as watercraft!

At Markel American, we don't try to fit your watercraft inside our automobile insurance program...because we don't have one!  We tailor our coverage options to the needs of boaters. We understand that boaters and marine insurance agents need insurance options that don't leave holes in the coverage that you can find by trying to protect a watercraft with an auto policy. Plus, with the breadth of coverage that we offer, customizing the coverage for a specific watercraft is easier and more efficient than with any other insurer. The Markel Marine Insurance Programs are backed by the financial stability of Markel American Insurance Company who is rated "A (Excellent) g, XII" by AM Best.

Our start was in the early 70’s as an independently owned underwriting manager in Waukesha, WI.  Coverage was underwritten for various insurers for motorcycle, mobile home, snowmobile, watercraft, travel trailer and golf carts among others.  

Today, in addition to insuring a wide range of marine risks, MAIC provides coverage on Motorcycle, All-Terrain Vehicles, Specialty Property, Special Event.  MAIC is an admitted carrier licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
