Insurance Solutions in Groton, CT
Groton covers dramatically different flood realities under one town line: Groton Long Point, a private association chartered in 1921 where the town confirms that every single lot sits in a flood zone, and Noank, a National Register Historic District fishing village of roughly 260 historic homes. Our dedicated team builds coverage around those facts, from flood insurance shaped by Superstorm Sandy's flooding of 215 of Groton Long Point's 589 homes to replacement-cost protection for Noank's century-old houses. We also serve boaters at Shennecossett Yacht Club's 206 slips and businesses like Noank Shipyard, including guidance on the security-zone navigation rules that apply near the submarine base.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about insuring boats, waterfront homes, and property in Groton, Connecticut.
Is it true that all of Groton Long Point sits in a flood zone?
Yes. The town of Groton confirms that every lot in Groton Long Point, a private association chartered in 1921, sits within a flood zone, and Superstorm Sandy proved that risk out by flooding 215 of the community's 589 homes. That level of exposure makes flood insurance a practical necessity for property owners here, and we help GLP owners find coverage that matches it.
I own a historic home in Noank. Does standard insurance cover a full rebuild?
Often not fully. Noank is a National Register Historic District with roughly 260 historic homes, many around a century old, and rebuilding one of these houses to current construction standards typically costs more than standard coverage assumes. We work with Noank homeowners to close that replacement-cost gap.
Are there special boating rules near Groton because of the submarine base?
Yes. Groton's waters include security zones tied to the nearby submarine base, so boaters need to understand those navigation rules before heading out, whether from Shennecossett Yacht Club's 206 slips or a yard like Noank Shipyard. We help make sure your vessel coverage and navigation habits line up with those requirements.
