Southeast Insurance

What Southeast Insurance does

Southeast Insurance Group (legal name: Southeast Insurance Brokerage Company, Inc.) is an independent insurance brokerage founded in 1990 by Thomas Andersen in Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida. The firm operates from two Florida offices — its Miami headquarters and a Fort Lauderdale branch opened in 2024 — placing marine, aviation, property/casualty, gaming/hospitality, fine art/collectibles, cruise concessionaire, and surplus lines coverage for domestic and international clients. Its core specialty is high-value marine (yacht, mega-yacht, commercial marine) and aviation (prop, jet, rotor, fleet) insurance, with ancillary lines spanning workers compensation, employee benefits, transportation risk, loss prevention, and special risk coverages including kidnap-and-ransom and political risk.

Revenue is generated through brokerage commissions on policies placed with multiple A+-rated domestic and international carriers, supplemented by in-house surplus lines licensing that provides access to Lloyd's of London and world market underwriters for non-standard risks. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; premiums vary by coverage type, asset value, and risk profile. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct sales through the Miami and Fort Lauderdale offices, multilingual staff (Spanish, Portuguese, French) extending reach into Caribbean and Latin American markets, trade association membership (FAIA, MIASF, GMAA, Port Everglades Association, Propellor Club), and quote-request funnels via the company website and phone.

The platform itself is non-proprietary in the technological sense — no APIs, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no integrated SaaS layer — relying instead on deep underwriting relationships, an experienced production team (founder Tom Andersen with 40+ years in marine/aviation; Aviation Partner Dan Langworthy, a 25-year airline captain), and documented claims expertise including over $60 million paid on each of two major aviation disasters (Fine Air Crash 1997, Chalk's International Airline 2006). Named enterprise clients span cruise lines (Carnival), aircraft manufacturers (Embraer), cargo operators (Southern Air Transport), port authorities (Ports of Miami and Fort Lauderdale), gaming operators (SunCruz Casinos), and heavy equipment (Komatsu Latin America). The firm is privately held by founder Tom Andersen with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds.
