Sterling Insurance Group

Sterling Insurance Group is an independent insurance agency that places homeowners, flood, auto, umbrella and commercial coverage, with a focus on high-value and coastal properties. The agency works with several insurers familiar with island and coastal risks, which helps where standard carriers have pulled back on Martha's Vineyard. Local businesses and professional offices can get general liability, commercial property and business owner's policies, along with certificates of insurance.

The office is at 31 Beach Road in Vineyard Haven, and the team serves clients across the Vineyard, Nantucket, the Cape and Greater Boston, plus some owners with homes or vehicles in other states. Phone, text and email all reach a licensed agent, and the office is open Monday through Thursday until 5 PM and Friday until 3:30 PM. Coverage can't be bound or changed through the website, so policy changes go through an agent directly.
