Dead easy and reasonable price.
We have always used them and they have always come up trumps as they say with a good price
Good professional service
Very simple to review and renew my boat insurance. And at a good pice!
Insisted on a survey to be able to insure, after being with the company for considerable years , never had a claim. have survey from ten years ago describing boat as better than new.
Competitively priced boat insurance policy with good customer service. When I had a claim it was dealt with and paid in two weeks.
Easy to modify my berthing details mid policy.
Like the way you can speak to someone if you need to -( the people I’ve spoken to have been super helpful and the price is competitive
Very friendly and easy to use
I’ve been with GJW for some years I find him a very good insurance company to be with. I currently have two vessels insured with them I would find it hard to find an insurance company that compares against them
Have renewed for many years, with various craft and always had a competitive quote and have never claimed so do not now how this side of business works.
A very straghtforward renewal and
It makes me happy that I am in safe hands regarding my boat insurance. Not having to question why my renewal price has gone up stops me from looking for better deals elsewhere thank you.
I was glad to find that my renewal was only £4 more than last year. Probably because of my out of water survey.
Very competitive and excellent, efficient service.
I have been with this company for many years and they have got to be one of the best in the country. Communication is second to none . The staff are always polite and very helpful . Can't praise them enough. Keep up the good work of looking after your customers. That's why I have given them five stars.
Never claim but when I did it was handled very well. As I bent the boom on my dinghy with my head. yes, it hurt and I anticipated disbelief as the bend in the track didnt show well in the pictures but it was sorted promptly. was about 6 years ago
Nothing a problem.....
Thank you GJW for sorting out our recent claim in such a stress free manner. We have been insured by you for over 25 years now and have never had a problem. Mark Jones
