Hugo founded Hanham Insurance Agency in 2016 with the aim of providing clients with specialist marine insurance and exceptional client service.
Previous to starting Hanham Insurance Agency, he worked in Lloyd’s Insurance Market in London advising and negotiating insurance coverage for some of the world’s largest Superyachts. During his time in London, he noticed the lack of client service available for the smaller yachts and boats. With this in mind, he returned to the States and to found Hanham Insurance Agency with the following vision:
​

Hugo grew up in Charleston, where he found a passion for sailing and boating. He worked as seasonal first mate for 5 years on a 100 ft. classic sailing yacht “Belle Aventure”.
