Everard’s rich history has given us a deep understanding of every aspect of maritime industries, the company started building barges in Kent in 19th century.
During the Second World War, vessels assisted in the evacuation of Dunkirk, the D-Day landings, and the liberation of Europe. In the following decades Everard’s fleet grew, managing and chartering 450 vessels. In 1969 Everard established itself as one of the UK’s leading independent marine insurance brokers.
Today, we specialise in offering tailored marine insurance cover and, as we deal with a wide range of niche insurance providers, we can arrange the cover you need – whether you’re looking to cover a small dinghy or an entire marine trade supply chain.
We offer high value marine insurance solutions for a variety of marine traders, from sole traders to contractors to port and harbour operations of all sizes.
Our marine shipping insurance team can provide specialist cover for your entire transportation chain, from seller to buyer.
We can provide comprehensive cover for most types of small craft vessels, whether you use them for commercial or private and pleasure purposes.

Marine Small Craft Division Manager
Brendon has worked in the insurance industry since 2013 when he started at a national brokers servicing private clients. Brendon then went onto work for a local broker in 2016 who specialised in marine insurance, predominantly small craft. Having lived near to the Fishing Port of Newlyn his whole life, Brendon grew up with a passion of the fishing industry and so the new role seemed a perfect fit due to the amount of fishing boats insured. This broker was acquired by James Hallam, the parent company of Everard in May 2021 and combining the knowledge of the two companies was fundamental in creating a new Small Craft Division which Brendon now heads up. His team will look for quotes on any vessel including private & pleasure, fishing, any other commercial, both in the UK and Internationally.
