Around the 26k mark iv been very understanding and slow with the process until my final letter of mediation on the 16th with the intent to take them to court if they don't try and make some effort of a meeting iv literally had 0 contact of even acknowledgement in writing from the harbour directors or their insurance and the harbour master cant or wont talk to me about it.
Well over the small claims limit - you're going to have a hard time if they flatly deny liability.

This sounds very odd. You say this happened a "few weeks ago" - exactly when? Have you submitted a detailed claim with supporting evidence? If so when? A claim for £26k is significant (and way above the limit for the small claims procedure).

Suggest you contact the harbour's insurers direct to confirm they have received your claim.

The OP has no contract with the company's insurers & may not even be aware who they are
The Op would not need to engage with them until such time that they express an interest
The marina Co is not obliged to refer the claim to a third party ie. the insurance co anyway.
They could decide to deal with it "in house"
