I have used GJW for the past 5 years with 3 different craft. Nothing is too much trouble. Easy to talk too. Good pricing. Wouldn't want to use anyone else. Easy to use website and to make changes online.
In the days where everything is going up my renewal fee remains the same as last year with no changes to my policy. Whenever I have made a claim the claim is always honoured with no fuss.
Great service when handling a claim made against one of your policy holders. Quick, efficient and positive. Excellent well done!
Excellent service over many years offering competitive rates and always with friendly and well informed staff. We have recently sold our boat but would have no hesitation in using GJW in the future.
