Welcome Aboard: Meet Mark Gargula, Our Marine & High-Value Property Insurance Specialist

We’re excited to introduce the newest member of the Mappus Insurance and Afore Insurance family — Mark Gargula, a seasoned expert in marine and high-value property insurance.

Mark brings with him a lifetime of experience on the water and in the insurance world. Raised in Wilmette, Illinois, his love for sailing began at a young age and carried him through college, where he was part of a championship-winning sailing team at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. His time on the water didn’t just fuel his competitive spirit — it also laid the foundation for a deep understanding of the marine industry.

After graduation, Mark turned his passion into a profession, entering the insurance world with a clear focus: helping boat owners and marine enthusiasts protect what matters most. Over the years, he has worked with top-tier insurance firms, consistently earning recognition as a leading producer thanks to his tailored, client-first approach.

But Mark’s expertise doesn’t stop at the shoreline. He also specializes in insuring custom and high-value homes across the country — from coastal estates to luxury properties in all 50 states. He has built trusted relationships with high-net-worth clients by delivering personalized, comprehensive insurance solutions that offer true peace of mind.

Mark’s unique combination of hands-on marine experience and deep knowledge of risk management makes him an invaluable resource for boat owners, homeowners, and industry professionals alike.

Whether you’re looking to protect a yacht, a waterfront home, or a luxury property anywhere in the U.S., Mark is here to help ensure you’re covered — and confident — no matter what.
