Great Pricing, easy to use app!
After getting outrageous quotes from progressive, geico, and state farm. I decided to get a quote from Ahoy. What a difference in pricing. It was all done online, nice and easy to customize my coverage. It took about 10 minutes and had instant proof of coverage. Hopefully I don't have any claims but the app looks pretty to use to submit claims.

Glad you liked our pricing David. Not less importantly we are thrilled that you were able to get a quote and bind with no hustle and that you got all you needed. We certainly hope as well you wont need to use the coverage but are here for you and our other fellow boaters as needed. Ahoy!
good price but hard to contact if there are any issues.
The insurance is good I think(I haven’t had to use it yet), the price is fair, the app is ok but there’s no way to renew the insurance anywhere through the app or the website that I could see. My insurance was not renewed because they needed paperwork from the DMV for my boat which is federally registered. So there’s no info at the DMV. The person I talked to was great but that was after a few weeks of trying to get ahold of someone via phone and by email(after my insurance had expired). The phone system is horrible. It puts you on hold for a few minutes then goes to voicemail but then you don’t get a callback. I would prefer to stay on hold until someone can answer the call.

Hello Tyler and thank you for the review. We value our community members, specifically existing customers so we are glad we could issue a new policy after the MVR has been cleared. We take our customers' feedback very seriously and upon further investigation we found out that we had a temporary issue with the phone system and for that we apologize. The issue has been fixed. Thank you for letting us know. Ahoy!

It's been great so far but I didn't know I had towing available
I got a flat on the trailer and the AAA denied helping me.
So I called a tow truck and they charged me $135 to fix the flat
Would that have been covered with my Ahoy coverage?

I hadn't heard of Ahoy and stumbled upon them through a sailing chat room.
Their application process was clear and straight forward and they answered any questions I had promptly. Which wasn't the case for a competitor.
They were also priced competitively which made the decision much easier.

Getting the insurance was easy.
I would have given a 5 star but getting pictures for the app is a difficult since the boat is in the water. 30 days is just to short of time to do it.

Thank you for the review Steven. We appreciate the feedback and one of our insurance specialists (we title them firstmates :-)). Will be in touch early the coming week to see what could be done.
Being attentive to our boaters and their feedback is top priority for us.
