Edward William Insurance
A specialised marine insurance provider that can provide cover for any boat, of any age, for any use, anywhere in the world. We are a family business that isn't governed by a computer system that says yes, no and how much. Every application is assessed by a real underwriter who calculates your premium based upon the individual circumstances.
There is no 'one price fits all' and you aren't penalised for others misdemeanours or unfortunate accidents. Indeed, we were one of the first marine underwriters to offer a No Claims Bonus for careful sailors! Most enquirers like to use our simple online application form, but if you'd rather call, you will go straight through to a real person without all the 'press 1, press 2' options of other companies.
