I find Haven Knox-Johnson prices very fair but haven't any claims experience.

I use Haven Knox-Johnson, largely because I got a reduction because of the marina recommendation. I think my Pilot SE is about £170 pa. As has been mentioned, you get what you pay for. I can't comment on what they are like in the event of a claim as I haven't as of yet, made a claim and fingers crossed wont have to.

I was with Bishop Skinner for many years but they became too expensive (were never exactly cheap) and were not open to haggling; never made a claim so I don't know what they are like in that respect. Last year I found some boat insurance comparison sites, in fact three, should there be a comparison site of comparison sites? From them I chose Nautical; considerably cheaper than Bishop Skinner but again no claim experience. The comparison sites:

Good luck in your search but remember you get what you pay for.
