From the Office to the Ocean: Why Face-to-Face Matters in Marine Insurance

At Sea Mountain Insurance, we believe there’s no substitute for showing up—especially when it comes to protecting the people and livelihoods that rely on the ocean. That’s why Daren and Kirk recently travel to Cordova, Alaska, to attend a marine industry event and connect directly with current and future clients in the fishing and maritime community.

Cordova isn’t just a scenic coastal town—it’s a hub of hardworking individuals and family-run operations that keep the marine economy moving. Meeting boat owners, captains, and marine business operators in person gave us a deeper understanding of their daily challenges, evolving risks, and what truly matters to them when it comes to insurance.

Conversations on the dock, at the event, and around town made one thing clear: face-to-face interaction builds trust in a way no email or phone call can. It helps us ask the right questions, offer better coverage solutions, and ensure our clients feel supported every step of the way—from claim to renewal.

Whether it’s the uncertainty of weather, equipment breakdowns, or changing regulations, the risks in the marine world are real—and they require real relationships. That’s why we’ll keep getting out from behind the desk and into the field. Because being there matters.

If you work on the water, Sea Mountain is here to protect what keeps you afloat. Let’s talk.
