Always very helpful, never let me down on claims.
Good cover. Clean service. Plus a Spanish language certificate!
This is one of the most efficient companies i have dealt with. Always reply promptly whether on line or on the telephone. First class 5 star service
I rang to clarify a minor point relating to whether I needed to inform you about my boat being craned out for a major repaint and whether this would affect my cover. My query was dealt with quickly and efficiently as one would expect.
Easy to use website and contacted quickly
Easy company to do business with, competitive insurance, plain English written documents
Always excellent service from helpful and friendly staff. Great premiums. Great cover.
Another year of excellent cover for our yacht at a very reasonable premium. Thank you!
Great value and very courteous staff.
Great company to be insured with
Over the years I’ve made two claims from GJW. Both were settled quickly and without fuss. You only know how good your insurance company is, if you have to make a claim. It’s not about the cheapest quote, but the best service.
Feel we have been treated fairly in the past
Very quick to answer and very helpful
Very helpful advice in altering my cover
So easy to arrange insurance with a specialist company who understood my needs. No additional charges for paying my boat insurance over 10 months and RCR rescue included in the cover. The premium was less than going to a broker. They were recommended by a friend who has two boats and has been with them 15 years - a recommendation in itself.
Great company to deal with every year
Very easy to arrange policy for new boat. Hopefully will not need to experience how good they are with claims
Just changed to GJW from Haven Knox Johnson. Refreshing change with straight simple communications, clear documents and better price. That's what we need.!!
Super service, great communication
