Excellent for small yachts

GJW were great to deal with when insuring my yacht for the first time. Terms and premiums seem very reasonable. Also used my dinghy experience towards my no claims history. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

Great value, great service

I went to GJW because they were the cheapest offering the cover I needed. I dreaded needing to make a change to the cover because I was late getting the boat out for the winter but they were really helpful and no excessive charge. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

Very Straightforward Company

Very straightforward Company to Deal with. From the initial enquiry to annual renewals - everything is very straightforward. I appreciate the use of easy to understand English. I haven't had to make a claim but the few friends that I know who have made a claim have confirmed that GJW are a very fair company with whom to do business. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025
