Based in Miami, Public Yacht Adjusters will consult, inspect, report, & fight for you from Key West to Jacksonville, & across to Pensacola. With years of experience in Marine Insurance from the carrier side, we specialize in the proper identification, repair procedure, damage appraisal, & claims process. Expertise and representation will not only maximize the dollar amount of your claim but can remove months from the claims and repair process.


Public Adjusting & Loss Claims Management

We have 25 years of boat building and marine experience, a decade of marine surveying, and years of experience processing maritime claims as a cause and origin expert in insurance claims and legal proceedings. We understand the damage to your boat, and the details of what a successful claim requires.


Free Damage Assessment

Upon contacting our office after a loss has occurred, we will come and inspect qualifying vessels in person for free to make an initial assessment of the damage to your boat, and to educate you regarding your vessel and policy.


Denied Claims

You've filed the paperwork, and your insurance company returns with frustrating news: you have no coverage for the damage to your boat. The reality with marine insurance is that most adjusters need help understanding yachts and their complicated systems, and that clauses providing coverage for your damage hide in the complex legal jargon that makes up your policy.

  • Insurance is so confusing… but Scott was AMAZING! He had patience, knowledge, and understanding to my situation and advised me on how to navigate and move forward with my boat claim. I can confidently make the decisions I have to make without being intimidated by my insurance company! You can trust what he says…he doesn't have ulterior motives… Just wants to help you! Too bad, I could only give him 5 stars… I would have given him 10 stars!

  • Scott and Valeria were extremely helpful and professional in providing their knowledge and guidance through this most difficult ordeal. And their help turned out to be free!

    After paying insurance premiums on my boats over the years, my first attempt at filing a claim was a disaster. In the first 4 weeks after Hurricane Ian, I had several conversations with insurance adjusters, but never the same person twice. Fortunately, by the time I was provided with what appeared to be a permanent adjuster, I had already spoken to Scott and Valeria. In my meeting with this adjuster, I asked for a copy of the insurance company’s estimate, telling him that Scott would be reviewing it and the boat. A written estimate was provided within 2 days of the meeting. It was shared with Scott immediately. After Scott reviewed the boat and the estimate, he called to tell me that I was lucky. I had gotten a fair estimate and did not need to hire him.

    Responsible, knowledgeable, and honest. WOW!

  • Excellent service, Scott and Valeria work extremely hard to deliver services that are 2nd to none. They went above and beyond with service excellence. I had a 1981 O'Day sailboat that was submerged underwater, and they made sure that I got a just and fair settlement

  • As a licensed Master, I run across a great number of people who “think” they know boats or the maritime industry; Scott is a true gem of knowledge and experience within the field. Very knowledgeable, really helpful. I spoke with him for a consultation and found someone that I will hire and recommend to other professionals in my area

  • Scott has been most helpful and knowledgeable since contacting him shortly after hurricane Ian. He was so helpful that he told us that we did not need to use his services yet advised us on exactly what to do in our circumstances.

    He continues to follow up and be there whenever I have questions about this crazy process with insurance companies in boats. This has been true for all of his staff! I couldn't recommend his company more highly!
