I have had only one claim, after another boat owner...

I have had only one claim, after another boat owner lost control and collided with my boat, which was on a mooring. Everything was sorted out without fuss and I lost only a day of my cruise. Reviewed on: 11th July 2025

GJW always provide good value

5
GJW always provide good value premiums and excellent phone response. I have used them for several years now and they have never given me any reason to look elsewhere. My one claim to-date was dealt with efficiently and to my entire satisfaction. Reviewed on: 11th July 2025

GJW came highly reccommended and I can now see why!

5
GJW came highly reccommended and have seemed very good value for money. unfortunately ha tie reasons to make claim this year, once after finding the boat had been broken into and Raymarine kit stolen, which was handled extremely quickly, and then due to the structure of the boat being damaged by grounding on the mooring, which after a bit of investigation was also honoured. The communication back from Ashley at GJW was always swift and concise, so I can only be left feeling very impressed. Reviewed on: 11th July 2025

GJW restructuring

4
GJW have just passed through a restructuring process, this has benefited GJW but perhaps not the customer, a shame Reviewed on: 11th July 2025
