Apollo Beach was built around its canals. Nearly every home in the original neighborhoods and the newer communities along Apollo Beach Boulevard has a dock or a lift, and the run out to Tampa Bay is minutes. That means a very high concentration of boats stored at private residences — which underwriters treat differently from marina storage, especially for hurricane and surge exposure on the east side of the bay.
Ricardo quotes boat coverage for Apollo Beach, Ruskin and SouthShore owners with the right storage classification and a straight explanation of what a named storm means for a canal-front lift.

Common questions
Does it matter which Apollo Beach marina or ramp I use?
Yes. Where the boat is kept — lift, wet slip, dry stack, trailer at home — is a major rating factor and affects hurricane requirements. Tell Ricardo exactly where it lives.
What should Apollo Beach boat owners know about hurricane coverage?
Read the named-storm deductible and haul-out requirements before the season starts. Some policies reimburse haul-out costs; some require a storm plan. Ricardo walks through it line by line.
Can you quote in Spanish?
Yes. Ricardo is a native Spanish speaker and quotes boat coverage in Spanish for owners across Hillsborough County.
