Martin Pocock
Oct 22,2024Historically the last marine insurer based in Liverpool recently sold to a managing general agent, called Ripe, will they retain the famous name? Or will it be consigned to history? Ripe are based in a Suburb of South Manchester.

Oct 22,2024Exactly the way insurance companies should all operate. Always good communication, easy when it comes to renewal time. Fairly priced, and more importantly as I haven't had to make any claims the price came down slightly. I never write reviews but in this case I can't fault GJW.

Oct 22,2024I've been insured with this company for many years and found them to be price competitive and very cooperative when I've wanted to make temporary changes to my policy such as sailing to Iceland.

Oct 22,2024I had an unfortunate grounding of my sailing boat in October last year and needed to rely on GJW Direct to help me out for the repairs to the hull and keel. They were fantastic with their dealings with me as well as with the boat repairer and happily the boat is now back to normal and looking as good as new.

Oct 22,2024I have had my motor boat insured with GJW for several years. They have always made the process of insuring and renewing extremely simple and straightforward. On the one occasion where I had to make a claim after hitting an unmarked obstruction in Normandy they were very helpful. I cannot fault the service that they give.
