Good value for money. Had to make a claim as our boat was hit by another craft and GJW handled it really well without any cost to ourselves either then or subsequently.
Always seemed good value and when my boom snapped a few years ago they paid up ok on the claim :)
Everything ran flawless from receiving my reminder to paying and getting verification back no problems.
Excellent service and great prices

Helpfull staff
Very satisfied with the service provided
Yacht Insurance easily renewed each year, with full particulars clearly visible.
Utterly useless. You can't do anything with your policy on the website and yet you have to listen to some surly woman telling you that you can, for the best part of three minutes. I have been hung up on. I requested an adjustment to my policy renewal because the boat is now stored ashore and is being sold. So from being able to cruise to the bay of Biscay and all the risk that goes with being afloat etc the reduction in premium was £17 (£217 to 200). This industry is simply a rip off.
Been with them for years, always a good quote & information
I've been with GJW for a few years now and always found them helpful and reasonable. My one claim was settled quickly without any fuss. Would reccommend!
