Process was so smooth
Process was so smooth. Gordon helped me save money on two boat policies. Ahoy is well versed in boats and the marine industry. It was nice to speak to someone who actually knew boat terminology and has an understanding of boats specifically. Thanks again. Couldnt ask for more.

Everything was fine
Everything was fine, however when I first applied I was turn down due to driving record. Knowing that my driving good, I got my records from the motor vehicle department. I called Ahoy back and scanned it to you. I never heard back so I called to see what happened and then was approved. Not sure why I was declined at the first attempt.

Hello Peter, thank you for the feedback. Rest assured that we wouldnt want to decline any potential customer without good reason but errors could always happen, ones related to Ahoy! or to our data providers. Hence we would love to debrief and improve.
If you would like to further drill on the topic itself we will be happy to provide you with any details we have that might have been behind the initial declination. Feel free to call the Ahoy!

Thank you Scott! We created Ahoy! so boaters like us will have access to what they are really looking for and not only to the "vanilla flavor" offerings the incumbents have been offering. Your review highlights what "for boaters by boaters" means. Ahoy!
