Simple transparent process to gather relevant information
Great service
I found the GJW insurance renewal process very straightforward.
A pleasure to deal with. There's never any surprises. Renewal reminders cone in a timely way. Renewal is very easy.
Never a problem, agents always so helpful. This is why I would recommend them to any craft owner. 5 star award for me
The process was fast and simple, mostly conducted on the telephone which was refreshing and without any pressured selling of products
I was very impressed with GJW Direct when I had to claim for repairs when my boat ran aground. Staff were pleasant and helpful which took a lot of stress out of the situation. SW
Affordable and fair rates . Timely reminders by email with an easy website to navigate. Talking to someone is easy when needed and issues get sorted
No fuss insurance and the website makes it very easy to manage the account.
renewal straight forward and no increase in the premium for me
Easy transaction, just disappointed with one of the conditions asks us to complete a training course, before we go on the waterways. I don't remember that this was mentioned before we paid, only after. Given the fact that you can hire boat with a party of people, with no conditions ....
A good reliable marine insurance company. Very easy to deal with and at a very competitive price
Very cooperative and helpful, even got my premium reduced a few years ago… I have had my yacht insured with GJW for many years..
