What Our Customers Say

Great agency! Joseph Boyles was helpful and easy to work with!

My experience with Fearnow Insurance and Joe Boyle was absolutely five star! From my first call to finalizing my homeowners insurance policy I was extremely pleased. Response time from Joe was really impressive. All of my questions were answered timely and I had quite a few of them along the way. He was very professional and made sure that I was comfortable with what I was signing and understood the policy and the coverage I was receiving. Unfortunately, our previous carrier was going out of business and we were on a time crunch with securing new coverage. He understood the sense of urgency and worked hard to make sure we were able to secure the coverage we were needed. I would highly recommend Fearnow Insurance to anyone looking to secure an insurance policy. In addition to my homeowners insurance I will also be reaching out to them to look into automobile insurance.

If you need insurance Fearnow is the place to go! We've used Fearnow for the last few years and have built a great relationship with a lot of the staff but Jean Rodriguez takes the lead (I guess you can say she's our favorite agent). Recently we were having the hardest and most stressful time finding an insurance company for garage liability and sadly we were forced to shop with other agencies. Every company we spoke with said our current agent has clearly gone above and beyond for us and unfortunately couldn't help because Jean already approached the markets they were signed with. A day or two before our expiration date we had a quote with another agency. We sent the quote over to Jean to look over and Jean WENT TO WORK AGAIN and MADE IT HAPPEN!!! We appreciate Jean and the rest of the team at Fearnow and are so happy we can continue to have them on our team!! Thank You! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!

Joe continues to provide excellent service! Earlier this year he helped with my mother's homeowner insurance by cutting the cost in half. Now he's helped with securing auto insurance for my daughter. He's very responsive & knowledgable. Highly recommend using Fearnow & Joe for your personal lines needs.

Joe Boyle was able to help us out very quickly getting new Home and Car insurance after AAA decided to cancel us. Aside from getting this done in a day, it was cheaper as well. All this after we had been waiting for about 2 weeks, twice in a row by other "insurance agents" without as much a quote. Joe really killed it. Don't fear now, call Joe!

What Commercial Boat Insurance Covers

What would you do if someone were accidentally injured or became ill while on one of your boats? Do you have the funds to pay for these types of expenses? For most boating businesses, the answer is no. They cannot pay for these types of incidents from their business funds. To financially protect you against liability and injury claims as well as damage to your boat, you should have a good commercial insurance policy that provides marine liability insurance, hull insurance, cargo insouciance, pollution insurance, and uninsured boater’s insurance.

Marine Liability

Marine liability insurance is similar to the liability insurance you might have for an automobile. It protects you against legal liability and helps pay for certain covered expenses, like if a crew member or passenger is injured or has their property damaged while aboard one of your commercial boats. It also covers injury, illness, and death.

Hull Insurance

Hull insurance is similar to the property coverage that you have on your vehicle. It covers damage to the hull of your ship and damage to other boats’ hulls if you have an accident on the water. It covers the equipment that is attached and unattached to the ship. For example, if you have furniture attached to your decking and that furniture becomes damaged or dislodged during an event, the repair or replacement of those items would be covered. Of course, hull insurance goes a few steps further and also offers coverage for items and equipment in your boat that is not physically attached as well as your propulsion system.

Cargo Insurance

If you own a cargo ship or frequently transport goods across the water, you’ll need a good cargo insurance policy. Cargo insurance helps finally protect you if any goods or items you are transporting for delivery are damaged or destroyed in transit. This coverage typically starts the minute the cargo is loaded on your ship until it is delivered to its final destination.

Pollution

What would do you in the event your boat becomes an environmental hazard? This scenario typically occurs if your boat is damaged and starts leaking fuel or oil or sinks due to a storm or fire. Once this happens, you’ll need to have your boat extracted from the water and clean up any liquid or chemical spills. Pollution coverage helps you pay for wreckage removal and cleanup of any hazardous materials or liquids that could be hazardous to the environment.

Uninsured Boater

While we don’t recommend operating your boat without insurance, there are boats out there that are not insured, and if they crash into your boat, they could cause extensive damage. Uninsured boaters’ insurance helps pay for repairs to your boat and any injuries if you have an accident with another boater who is uninsured. With this coverage, you’ll simply file a claim with Fearnow to get the funds to repair your boat and pay for any injuries sustained during the boating accident.
