EPIC Insurance acquires marine insurer

EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants has acquired Oversea Insurance Agency, trading as Oversea Yacht Insurance, based in San Diego and Fort Lauderdale.

Founded in 1978, Oversea Yacht Insurance is in its fourth generation as an insurance agency specialising in recreational and commercial marine insurance. Oversea says it represents policy offerings with the premier carriers in the insurance industry, providing coverage to yachts ranging from 30 feet to 300 feet, both domestically and internationally.

Principals Scott Jarvie and John M. Jarvie II will remain actively involved in the overall organisation. John Jarvie will serve as managing principal of the yachting practice.

“After 45 years in the marine insurance business, we are excited about the opportunities ahead with EPIC as this will enable us to expand our capabilities and offerings to clients. By further collaborating with EPIC and the EPIC Select team who are focused on high-net-worth individuals, there will be added benefit to all,” says Scott Jarvie, president, Oversea Yacht Insurance.  

Adam Meyerowitz, president, EPIC midwest and southeast regions, says: “We are fortunate to have aligned with the Jarvie team and its organisation to provide this specialised expertise.”
