Luellen—a tournament angler himself since the mid 1980’s—is an exclusive marine specialty agent with over 20 years of experience in the field of marine insurance. He represents numerous insurance companies nationally and is licensed in 48 states “What Worldwide Marine brings to NPAA members is a personal understanding what, exactly, their insurance requirements are, including equipment, electronics, towing issues, liability, and more.”

Pat Neu, NPAA Executive Director, is extremely pleased with this new partnership. “The experience level of Worldwide Marine Underwriters’ staff allows them to write the coverage that best fit the needs of professional anglers. They are a company that intimately understands the insurance needs of the captains, guides and tournament anglers of NPAA and are able to offer the best coverage for the lowest price – which is imperative in today’s market.”
