Dec 17,2024Don’t think the advisor we dealt with was familiar with narrowboats. We doubt we will be renewing next time given the experience this year.

Dec 17,2024I found the staff professional and friendly. Good to get through easy to a human, rather than loads phone options and frustrating long messages. The whole process was easy .

Dec 17,2024I was disappointed that there was no printed booklet of my insurance cover. Documentation is always needed for overseas port authorities and there is no guarantee of having WiFi at the port of entry. Therefore printed documents are essential. The "Dashboard" is useless on these occasions.

Dec 17,2024I have used GJW for my boat insurance for several years as they offer the best personal contents insurance on a residential boat. The renewal has always been extremely competitive and the automatic renewal faultless and easy.

Dec 17,2024Our boat has been insured with them for years, when we had a claim with them for a previous boat they were really helpful and efficient. Would recommend them.

Dec 17,2024Crazy asking for a tracker on a an engine that’s full attached to a boat, the engine can’t be removed without taking the whole outfit including boat.

Dec 17,2024Haven't made a claim yet, so I can only comment on ease of service, which is great. Hopefully I'll never need to judge you on paying my claims.
