The joining process was flawless
The joining process was flawless, excellent and timely communication.
Laura was very helpful.
So much better experience than I had with Yamaha Insurance who did their best to be uncontactable.
So far so good, let's hope this is how it will be in the future if I am unfortunate enough to have to make a claim

My previous insurer/ broker decided to drop all residential clients and focus on commercial insurance. Passed my account onto a large nz insurer, rates rose nearly 50%. Was recommended mariner insurance from local boat dealer, rates back to where the were, fast sign up process, all good so far.
