I was with Y Yacht insurance but now taken over by Topsail.

I renewed this week and was surprised how little the increase was.

Might be worth a look.

I put some work into shopping around for insurance and eventually went with Haven KJ via Topsail as broker which was cheaper than going direct with the insurer for the exact same product. I have paid considerably less (in March) compared to the previous year with 'Y' with a reduced but acceptable cruising range.

GJW They paid out without any quibbles following our 'accident'. That is the real measure of an insurance company.

Very happy with craftinsure - good value, but singlehanded cover a bit limited. Now with Stoneways who have been very attentive

I stay with GJW because they dealt with two sizeable claims very fairly. I agree with Peter - cost isn't the only factor to consider.

Have been using MS Amlin for as long as I have been sailing (30 yrs). Previously traded under another name but cannot fault their service. Large claim a few yrs ago and their response was fine.

GJW for me

Saved £100+ moving from Topsail (HKJ) to GJW with equivalent cover

Deal is done I see but for anyone else considering I used A Plan for a number of years Car Insurance, Home Insurance and Much More | A-Plan and had to claim last year (due to theft and damage not captain's calamity) which as everyone says is the only way to test them and they dealt with with it sympathetically and efficiently. They also didn't charge for previous policy alterations (at that time) which is another factor to consider.

GJW - and read the other competitors contracts if you want a proper Agreed Value contract!

Further to my last, I've never had a claim but the premiums keep going down year on year from GJW and, if they don't, any increase is negligible. However, the main reason that I stick with GJW is that whenever I call and ask a question, I get off the phone feeling much better about myself, world peace, Covid-19 and squirrels. They are always helpful, nothing is a problem and they always answer the phone!

Apart from that they're carp

Christ on a bike that sort of service is as rare as hen's teeth thesedays, a ringing endorsement indeed...

Glad to hear it as I'm with them. They were really good to deal with when setting up, only nervousness was hadn't (yet!) had to test it
