Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service and a smooth claims process

I recently had to make a claim for a new dinghy mast following a racing incident, and the entire process was remarkably painless. The initial online claim form was very user-friendly. Dealing with Mr. J Wright at Mac Marine Claims (the loss adjusters) was straightforward and professional throughout.

The claim was paid without any hassle, and the only additional information requested was a quick statement from a safety boat crew member. Thank you for your excellent customer care!

One small suggestion for improvement: It would be great to receive an automated email confirmation whenever information or documentation is submitted online or via email during the process, just for peace of mind.

Thanks again
