Oct 07,2024Renewal is easy with the web based portal, shame we've lost the personal touch of actually speaking to a dedicated contact person but I suppose this is meant to be progress in the sad world we live in.

Oct 07,2024Fantastic company. I've been with GJW for years and I can not recommend them highly enough. They are extremely professional and their customer service is fantastic. In my opinion, they are the best marine insurance available.

Oct 05,2024After searching for an insurance company to cover my floating home eventually found GJW Direct. Everything in setting up the policy with the operator went very smooth & not complicated, with straight forward questions. Certainly a company who offers great value without any hassle & discussions finding the right cover was not complicated.

Oct 07,2024At a time we your trying to deal with a significant event and repair the damage to your boat the last thing needed are stumbling blocks from your insurer. GJW Direct could not have been more positive and helpful with the resolution of my claim, quick and direct, leading to the desired successful outcome. Great service, although I hope I don't have to use it again.
