GJW insure 2 boats for us.

GJW insure 2 boats for us., so if we hadn't have liked them, we would have gone elsewhere for the second boat! Easy to contact, and reasonably priced. Been with them since 2019, and we are people who shop around! Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

Competitive flexible and helpful, happy to recommend to friends and family. Look forward to staying if premiums remain good value. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

Well done GJW.

A few years back I bashed the boat on a buoy in the Solent causing over £2000 of cosmetic damage. I told GJW that it was 100% my error of judgement and that no one else was involved. No quibbling GJW paid up and boat fixed. Brilliant service. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

Very friendly knowledgeable staff in Liverpool, not out sourced abroad. Very competitive premiums, often held at the same price or a modest rise which is refreshing! I’ve never had to claim but trust dealings would be straightforward. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

Very helpful.

Very helpful. No fuss. Good value. When I was stranded they sent someone to help straightaway. I had another problem on the same day. They sent help again. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

Very Professional and quick responders.

I've been insured through GJW since 2000 and sudden and have two boats that they look after. I've only had one claim which was settled after a lightning strike very swiftly in 2010. They have always provided help and competitive pricing.. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025

GJW gave me a quick and efficient quote, albeit slightly more expensive than my previous insurer, but having heard good testimonials from fellow sailors I decided to go with them. Reviewed on: 24th September 2025
