Insurance?

My boat is a 1990 Mk 1.5.  Purchased about 15 years ago.  I just received a curt message from my current insurance company (Ahoy!) that they are not renewing my policy. The reason given was 'age of the boat'.  No request for a survey, just 'go away'.    Does anyone have a recommendation for a reasonable company.  Cruising grounds are Pacific NW (San Juan islands).

I received similar about 2 years ago. I went to progressive and they gave me a fair price no survey etc.

We have been with Boat US/Geico for 23 years. Finally filed a claim for $30,000 in damages after Hurricane Ian.  Excellent claim handling. No question of damages claimed. I just documented each issue with pictures, description, estimate. Check sent within a week with no depreciation deducted.  No survey required.

I haven't had to make any claims, but I think I have a pretty good rate with PEMCO. I think they required a survey, but that was back when I bought the boat 10 years ago, so I just gotten one.
