I am pleased to announce that the 2026 Fort Lauderdale Mariners Club Marine Insurance Seminar will be held on Tuesday, October 27th. The seminar will be preceded by the FLMC Seafarers House Charity Golf Tournament at the famous Grande Oaks Golf Club — a course with a legacy so iconic that even Caddyshack fans may feel a little extra spring in their step. We’ll also host our Meet the Speakers Reception on Monday, October 26th.

If you’ve attended one or more of our Marine Insurance Seminars, you already know this is the “must‑attend” event for professionals in marine insurance and admiralty law. Our audience also includes marine surveyors, finance companies, technical experts, and a wide range of industry partners who understand that staying sharp on marine insurance and legal issues is essential to navigating today’s maritime landscape — no gophers involved. If you haven’t joined us before, take a moment to explore the links below for a glimpse of what you can expect. Think of it as your preview reel — minus the dancing groundskeepers:

On behalf of the 2026 Seminar Committee and the Fort Lauderdale Mariners Club, we look forward to welcoming you to Fort Lauderdale this October. It’s sure to be a great time — the kind of event where the knowledge is deep, the networking is strong, and the only thing we take less seriously than the weather is our golf swings.

Thank you,
Chris Coleman
FLMC 2026 Marine Insurance Seminar Chairman
