5 yrs of Narrow Boat Insurance

I have insured my Narrow Boat with GJW since I bought it 5yrs ago. GJW were recommended & I've nothing negative or positive to write because I've not had to make a claim. I think GJW are expensive but I've not had quotes from the opposition, so that's just a hunch! Reviewed on: 18th July 2025

When I had to make a claim, GJW were very helpful.

The test of any insurer is if you are in the unfortunate situation of having to make a claim. GJW could not have been more helpful. The app made it easy for me to upload photographs and to give a full description of the reasons for my claim. Staff were available to answer my questions when I had them on the phone.
