My Journey with GJW from New Sailor, to Club Commodore

5
Great from when I first phoned having been recommended by friend as a new sailor at his club. My phone call was quickly answered by a real person on a Saturday morning, it was instantly clear that the lady who answered my call knew a whole lot more about Sailing Cruisers than I did. My insurance cover was started on the day I purchased my cruiser, the cost and cover was definitely best value for money. I now have 3 different water crafts insured with GJW, and have recommended them to all new club members. I unfortunately had to make a claim after my cruiser broke from its mooring in a storm, GJW were brilliant during this stressful time and my cruiser was repaired and back on the water safe and secure. From new to sailing I am now a proud Commodore and always recommend GJW when asked by new club members. Reviewed on: 25th September 2025
