Efficient and reasonably priced.

The price was reasonable and it was easy to set up - I’ve not had to claim though. That would be the acid test! :)

This company is a total disgrace

This company is a total disgrace. They have taken money from me to insure my boat, when I read the conditions (thankfully I did) I called them to clarify it and I got a very rude, curt man on the phone with the manners of a pig. I would say stay away at all costs!!!!! I'm away back to my Haven Knox Johnston!!

The renewal quotation was a pleasant surprise and the website made payment easy. The documents are conveniently stored for future reference if required.
