Club Marine Boat Insurance

“DO NOT INSURE WITH THEM! My partner and I have had insurance with club marine for the past 5 years. The first claim my partner made on his boat they are telling us he is not covered when the motor was damaged in the water by a floating rock. Excess was paid straight away and it look 2.5 months for them to tell us the claim is denied with no reason. Noone has called with a update through the whole process. Don't bother wasting your money with them”

“Easy to deal with and piece of mind. Wouldn’t use any other craft insurer”

“We have used Club Marine insurance for various boats over the past 30 years, and have never had any claims. The ideal clients you would think! Having recently purchased a custom sailing dinghy from an amateur builder we attempted to insure the boat with Club Marine to transport it back home. Firstly we were unable to use online services as there was not an “identifiable” manufacturer. So we phoned, and after a long wait, spoke to someone who seemed to be from an offshore call centre. Although polite, she could not understand our description of the boat and the fact that it was not manufactured by a commercial company. She therefore declined to insure the boat, but did advise that we could contact the insurance council if we had further concerns. We didn’t do this, but instead contacted another insurer who was happy to assist. We won’t be troubling Club Marine for any further business”

“Ive been insured with CM for about 14 years with various boats, recently i lost my vessel due to a design flaw in the pod. Club Marine dealt with a very stressful situation in a very swift, professional manner, getting an assessor who really knew his stuff, and a salvage team to the boat on the same day. The claim, despite being complex due to mitigating factors was sorted within about 10 days. This was an exceptional effort and highly professional and i want to thank again the CM team for such an exemplary effort”

“Great insurance company until you need to make a claim. Then they look for every possible way to reject the claim even after a very experienced and highly respected boat mechanic has explained the damage to them.”
