Maritime Insurance Roots Since 1826.
Boat insurance you can trust.
Groves, John and Westrup (GJW) have over 195 years of marine insurance experience. In fact, we can trace these roots back to 1826—their extensive history means when you insure your boat through GJW Direct, you’re in safe hands.
Insure direct for great service and competitive premiums.
Through GJW Direct, you get direct access to specialists who understand boat insurance. We offer policies designed to provide reliable protection, along with efficient service to give you peace of mind.
Protection for a variety of boat types.
We insure many types of boats, including:
Our fees
-
- Our services to you include arranging your insurance policy with the insurer, helping you to make any changes to your policy and to submit a claim. We act as an agent of the insurer under a delegated authority agreement, which allows us to bind risks and issue documents.
- GJW Direct acts on a non-advised basis; this means we provide information about our products and services but do not make a personal recommendation as to the suitability of the insurance policy.
-
- We receive commission from the insurer, which is a percentage of the total annual premium. We apply administration charges for arranging, amending, renewing and cancelling of any insurance policy. Details of any fees/charges will be declared to you in advance of them being incurred.
