Professional Angler Shaw Grigsby (Host of “One More Cast” and 13-Time Bassmaster Classic Qualifier) has insured his boat with Markel for over 10 years. According to Shaw, “Markel understands the type of coverage fishermen need. It is by far the most affordable, most complete boat insurance on the water.” Both Markel and Shaw Grigsby are proud supporters of Take Me Fishing and Anglers' Legacy.
