Feb 10,2025The simple stuff is really easy to do on the website - but if you do need more help or information then the phones are always answered quickly and the call handlers are always friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and ultra efficient. I've been with them for ix years and they are far better than any company I have previously used.

Feb 07,2025Seem to be fine unless you want to make a claim. "A claim handler will make contact with you" was the last I heard over 2 weeks ago. I guess they're busy in the winter? Or maybe they're hoping I just go away....

Jan 13,2025Unreliable, unhelpful. Been with them many years, no claims. Covered for charter boating. Discontinued It at short notice some years back, then for several years have been providing the cover again. Until now, once more no cover for charter boating. No reasons as to why, no help at all..

Dec 23,2024GJW have always, over many years, done exactly what it says on the tin. We feel safe in their hands, as does our boat. Always great support and advice whenever we have called with an issue. Doing the small things well is such an important thing.

Dec 23,2024I’ve owned and insured many Jetskis since the 1990s most of the time with RJP Marine. Only found GJW when RJP closed their business. I’ve a couple of Skis insured with GJW now and very,very happy with the service. Sensible costs, no stress easy to sort policies..
