You need to either answer the phone or return phone calls Pelican Pete! My wife and I are retired, saw the 2.9% charge for automatic card payments, Wanted to save the $35, could've taken my wife out for lunch! But Oh No, called multiple times to use the "check option ", but nobody answered, left multiple voicemail, CRICKETS! C'mon I know you're better than that!

You reduced my coverage without talking to me about it. The value is too low.

Thank you for the review Claude. Gordon who assisted you is great and we conveyed your sentiment to him. Ahoy!
Valuation hassle
Better rates. Having to find bill of sale for boat value is a pain. The other 4 companies I priced with did not require this.

Hey Doug. We are glad you found our rates to be competitive. We hope you will also find our service and product to be the best for boaters like you and us. As for the survey - without getting into the case specifics, we ask for surveys based on factors such as boat type, age, and the like so to make sure we can continue and provide the great offering we do in the long term. Ahoy!

Thanks so much for the review Kenneth. Weve built Ahoy! to be what we, being boaters ourselves, would have liked to have. So reading your review is the best reward we could have. Ahoy!
Great experience so far
I put a call into Ahoy as I was researching insurance companies, and the gentleman I spoke with answered my questions professionally, explaining their position in the marketplace. I felt very comfortable with them, and their pricing was the best I could find. If I ever have a claim I will know more. Thanks Ahoy, I’ll be taking photos of my boat once I get it unwrapped and ready for the season.
