Belter is better insurance, and that means;
Authentic We are driven by a historic drive to help marine businesses achieve success on a long-term basis.

R.A. Belter Insurance was founded in 1982 by Bob Belter as a local independent insurance agency serving the needs of businesses in Northern California. As a boater and outdoor enthusiast, Bob had the opportunity to work with a specialized insurance program in the late 1980s. That program sought to ensure Marinas and Boat Dealers and began what would ultimately become our specialty. Now retired,
Bob enjoys fishing, spending time with the grandkids, and getting to spend lots of time on the water.
MATT BELTER, OWNER
– Retired 12/01/2024
Matt began his career in 1991 after graduating from the Commercial Union school for Agents. Being a lover of the water and waterskiing from a young age, Matt quickly geared his career towards the recreational marine niche. Matt wanted to spend most of his time on or near the water, boats, or in a marina! At Belter Insurance, he gets to do just that, all the while using his experience and business to help water lovers like himself.
Mitch began his career as an agent when he graduated college in 1999 with a Bachelors’ degree in Risk Management & Insurance at California State University. Mitch remembers his love of the water beginning when he was three years old. He spent afternoons watching in admiration as his older brothers waterskied. Mitch quickly joined them at a young age and participated in waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakeskating, and surfing.
Now, with three children of his own, they carry on the tradition of watersports and boating.
Chris developed his passion for watersports (waterskiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing) growing up around Lake Washington in the Seattle area. Every summer day was spent around or in the water.
He joined the commercial insurance industry after graduating from Western Washington University with a degree in Business Management.
Chris and his family enjoy boating, fishing and being outdoors as much as possible!
Nice to meet you!
Is there anything better than watching the next generation fall in love with the water?
May your day be ending with a beautiful sunset on the water.
Marinas and resorts have very unique insurance needs. At Belter, not only do we get it, but we live it. We insure your business the same way we expect OUR marinas and resorts to be insured. We leave no stone unturned, no aspect unprotected.
When you partner with Belter, you partner with a team that truly understands your industry. We live and breathe it, and we are proud to protect the businesses that keep it alive.
At Belter, we insure marine industry businesses that bring water vessels and their activities to the consumer. This starts with manufacturing and goes straight through to water sports. No matter what corner of the industry your business is, we have custom plans to protect your future.

When you`re choosing your boat`s storage option for the off-season, be sure to understand the perks and safety measures the organization has in place. You`ll want a clean, secure boat until you can put it in the water in the late spring.
Whether you`re a mom-and-pop shop that`s been selling to your local lake town for generations or a specialty yacht dealership selling that "living on the water in luxury" lifestyle (or something completely in between, like our friends @tommysboats ), Belter Insurance has got you covered.
We create our insurance options to fit your retail business needs specifically. It`s not a one-size-fits-all situation. We excel at working with business owners to protect their locations, property, and employees.
Drop us a line if you`re interested in learning more.
Whether you`re on salt or fresh, the water has endless opportunities for fun and exploration. It`s a great time to try something new!
Today is National Show & Tell at Work Day. If I could haul something to work to show the crew, it`d be one of these beauties I was lucky enough to see at #dealerweek last month.

Is there anything better than still water around you? When we see the open water from the deck of a boat, we see a vast open space filled with opportunity. We hope you see those opportunities in the coming year. Whether for something new or something growing, remember there is an OCEAN of possibilities.
(yea yea..we know this is a lake, but you get it....)
