Boat insurance for over 25 years.

We have used GJW for our family boats for over 25 years, dinghies and cruisers. They have always sorted us out when needed, mostly for the kids dinghies. This for a reasonable premium. Reviewed on: 6th October 2025

My insurers doubled my premium GJW halved it.

5
When my old insurers doubled my premium for no reason at all, their excuse was it’s the underwriters, it’s the same everywhere, I got some quotes that were just as high but GJW quoted me less than I’d been paying before. Reviewed on: 6th October 2025

Great customer service!

I have had several boats insured with GJW over the years and premiums have always been competitive. Where they’re brilliant though is their customer service. When I needed to make a claim, they took me through the process and made it easy which was hugely appreciated at a stressful time. thankyou! Reviewed on: 6th October 2025
