ABOUT US

Fourteen carriers, one local agent.

Laura Bennett opened Harborline in 1998 with one desk and a belief that insurance should be explained, not just sold. As an independent agency we can compare coverage from many companies and recommend the right fit.

Today our team covers more than eleven thousand Boston households and hundreds of local businesses — and we still help every client through every claim.
