He brought on Vance Barker, an insurance industry veteran that had a quick impact on growth.
The agency was founded in Charleston, SC in 2007 by Nick McGinty. Nick formed the agency while also being General Manager for The Charleston City Marina, where he was GM from ‘01-‘15. In 2012, Nick stepped down from his full-time role as the GM for City Marina to focus exclusively on Maritime Insurance. As the economy turned around and the marine industry picked up the one-man agency grew.
Maritime Insurance is appointed with over 20 “A rated” insurance carriers and several Managing General Agents to write all types of marine specific policies.
They hold themselves to a high-standard of ethics, service, and authenticity that was set as a principal of business from the early days. They put their insured’s best interest first by offering the right coverage at the best price possible.

As a matter of context, this was our first boat ownership experience. So Adam did a great job walking us through the various boater-related risks and perils and related coverages, including how the boat insurance integrates with our other insurance coverages (umbrella). He made excellent recommendations and was a terrific thought partner. His service was professional and he delivered as promised. And while I hope that I’ll never need to file a claim, I am confident I can count on Adams continued professionalism and support should that day come.
The insurance on our 40 foot sailboat was nearing its annual renewal and prior to renewing, we decided to talk to marine insurers during our annual visit to the Newport Boat Show to see if our current premiums were competitive. There were a lot of insurance companies at the show and we were lucky to come across the Maritime Insurance / Premier Marine booth. They were extraordinarily responsive and had a preliminary quote (with a substantial savings) for us before we left the show later that day. Less than one week later, we have provided final inputs, they have provided a firm quote, and we have moved our insurance to them. Great folks with a great product!
