01 / Your boat. Your claim.
It’s more than
a boat.
We understand that.
Time on the water is personal. So is the disruption when something goes wrong.
A damaged hull, a storm at the marina, or a disputed repair estimate can leave you with a lot of questions. A public adjuster helps you bring the policy, the damage, and the supporting records into one clear claim.
Julio C. Ortega of Active Claim Adjusters LLC represents the insured’s interests in the property claim process. Start with a conversation about your loss and whether representation is a fit.

Different losses.
The same need for clarity.
Every claim starts with the actual policy and the facts of the loss. These are some of the situations a boat owner may need help reviewing.
Storm &
02
Collision &
grounding damage
Document the impact and the resulting damage. Bring qualified inspection findings and repair proposals into the claim review.

Sinking &

Theft &
vandalism

Review the policy, endorsements, deductibles, claim notices, and the insurer’s response.
Damage & repair documentation
Organize photographs, qualified inspection findings, estimates, invoices, and relevant maintenance records.
Claim presentation & communication
Present the documented loss, address claim questions, and communicate the insured owner’s position.
Offers & unresolved items
Compare the insurer’s position with the supporting file and review disputed or additional documented damage.

Know what
comes next.
A few practical answers before you get in touch.
What does a public adjuster do for a boat owner?
A public adjuster engaged by the insured helps prepare, document, present, and negotiate the property insurance claim on the insured’s behalf. The scope of services and fees should be explained in a written agreement.
Is a public adjuster the same as a marine surveyor?
No. A public adjuster handles claim representation. A marine surveyor or another qualified marine professional may inspect the boat, assess its condition, or provide technical findings. Julio does not offer repair certification, a safety determination, or legal advice through this service.
Can I get help after an offer or denial?
You can contact Julio to discuss an existing claim, an offer, a denial, or unresolved damage. Whether representation is appropriate depends on the policy, evidence, deadlines, and any agreement or release already signed. A different result is not guaranteed.
What should I have ready?
Start with a brief description of what happened, where the boat is located, and the claim status. Keep the full policy, photographs, repair estimates, inspection reports, ownership records, and insurer correspondence available for a later review. Do not send sensitive documents in your first email.
Should I move or repair the boat first?
Put personal safety first and use qualified help for unsafe conditions, recovery, and repairs. Follow your policy duties, notify the insurer promptly, and discuss documentation and inspection before nonemergency repairs when practical. Preserve photographs and receipts. This website is not emergency, salvage, or technical repair guidance.
What will representation cost?
Julio can explain the proposed services and fees for your particular claim before you decide whether to proceed. The scope and fee are set out in a written agreement before representation begins.
