Dec 17,2024Easy to discuss with experienced English staff. I feel my boat is well covered and the price acceptable. It's my second boat to insure with them but I can't speak of the claims process simply because I haven't had any accidents or issues.

Dec 17,2024Been with GJW a few years now and they’ve always been spot on. Always available to answer any questions on the phone and most importantly I had to make a claim a couple of years ago and the claim was sorted and paid out within a week. 💯 recommend GJW
Mr Mike Machin
Dec 17,2024Once my yacht had been inspected by the surveyor appointed by GJW and submitted his report. Kirsty who was handling my claim immediately authorised the repair and paid the invoices already incurred. She also promptly authorised payment of invoices submitted during the repair. What started off as a very stressful incident was mitigated by GJW‘s response.

Dec 17,2024Excellent website. Great customer service and seamless process. I was advised GJW on the XS RIBS forum. In fact, I had already concluded they were the better company.

Dec 17,2024It was very easy to get a quote and indeed a revised quote. As with all insurance companies, it's how they handle the claim which as a newbie I have no experience of and Hopefully never will
