Oct 25,2024GJW provides a friendly and comprehensive service that encompasses most boat owners needs. The policy terms provides additional benefits for Premier Marina berthholders. I have never needed to claim but I have heard on the grapevine that GJW is prompt to act and settle valid claims. Insurance is fully comprehensive with selectable options. I don't think that 3rd party liability cover is available as a sole option.

Mrs Shirley Starr
Oct 25,2024I have the highest praise for GJW who understood our dilemma and supported us all the way through to conclusion. I have no experience of other insurers and frankly don't need it as we would not consider using anyone else.

Oct 25,2024I tried to use the website to change the sailing location of the home Marina but it did not save my entry. I then sent an email and that was dealt with within 36 hours.
