Thats just inflation... they will all increase, just like every other type of insurance.

I went with GJW because of recc's from on here. Polestar also get a good rec.

GJW has just bought Polestar

Depends on the cover you are looking for. I was with GJW but the cover was too restrictive for our liveaboard lifestyle and travelling overseas. Now we are with Pantaenius and I was extremely impressed with them when we had damage following anchor dragging in June.

Their communications after the incident were superb - they cope with email, fax, phone (will call you back immediately) and seem to understand the difficulties the yachtsman is facing in dealing with the matter from a boat instead of his home or office.

They were a little more expensive than GJW but GJW's offer was nowhere near as complete. And they treat you like an adult - none of those silly restrictions about single-handing, etc.

If you're staying local (Elbe - Brest) stay with GJW.

They PAY - if you're ever claiming, that's all you'll care about.
Fair, honest & fast.
