"I was referred to the agency by another cruisers. It was a GREAT call. Unlike the past two brokers, the staff 1) answered the phone every time I called rather than going to voice mail 2) all were cheerful and took the time to address my issues and answer my questions. 3) provided the quote very timely 4) They re-did the quote as my location changed prior to being nailed down 5) Delivered the endorsement and policy as they said they would do. I have provided a number of Google reviews and I would have given more stars if I could have. As to the Company of State Farm I have have delt with them for years. The rate quoted for the coverage was better than I could get elsewhere by a LARGE amount. Great Value, for a great policy and via a great agent and his staff."

"Jason King from Steve Botkin Ins Agcy in Ft. Lauderdale got us a State Farm boat insurance for our newly purchased sailing catamaran (Bali 4.3). The application process was simple and fast. Jason, Sally and other staff were welcoming, positive and very effective. The coverage is comprehensive, no unreasonable exclusions, and the premiums are competitive. We couldn't be more happy."

"Jack, Our State Farm policy is a great policy, and I have a great team that knows the product and is able to assist with questions. Thanks for recognizing their teamwork and dedication. We look forward to referrals and helping your sailing friends with coverages. Thanks, and Happy Sailing. Steve. "

"As a sailboat owner of over 10 years, this was by far my best experience getting a new insurance policy. I called the office and worked with Sally and the whole process took less than one business day. She talked to me like we were having a conversation, not just reading through scrips and questions. She was also exceptionally FAST AND RESPONSIVE."
We responded:
"Audrey, I'm so glad we were able to help with your boat coverage so quickly and efficiently. Thanks for the review and feel free to call on us anytime. Steve "

"I had a fantastic experience working with Ceren Haskiris and the team at Steve Botkin Insurance. From the very first interaction, Ceren was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. She took the time to clearly explain all my options and made sure I felt confident in my choices. What stood out the most was how approachable and responsive she was always just a quick call or email away when I had questions. Ceren made the process smooth and stress-free, and I truly felt that she cared about finding the best solution for my needs. It’s rare these days to find someone who combines deep knowledge with genuine care, but Ceren does exactly that. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for not just insurance, but peace of mind. Thank you again, Ceren, for your outstanding service!"
We responded:
"Ersegun, We are proud to have Ceren on our team and thank you for recognizing her outstanding interaction with your regarding insurance. We have a great team and look forward to those referrals and working with you in the future for not only your auto insurance, but other insurance needs. Thanks. Steve "

Working with a fellow sailor gave us peace of mind knowing that Jason both understood the intricacies of boat insurance and could relate to our specific needs and concerns. Jason will be more than our insurance agent. He will be an advocate as we set sail on this new adventure."
