Northern Reef/ Edward Williams Insurance

[JulianGullsway]

Hi All, Ive had insurance with the above for a number of years and have been recently reading adverse information about them and Edward William Marine Insurance who are based in Spain. I would like to hear from any one with either good or bad experiences, our Endurance 35 is Ferro and even though she was built professionally no one else will touch us .......

Thanks

I helped a guy attempt a claim with them for a total loss. It was a useless exercise. The damage happened in a yard and after the incident the marina would not accept any yachts insured by them.

Google is your friend. That said, in your case it may be the only choice and if you need coverage to show to marinas, etc then it maybe worth it. Just don't expect any payouts.

SCAM ALERT!

I made a claim through Northern Reef/Edward Williams and they are now saying that Northern Reef has ceased trading and they cannot pay out my claim.

They are tricksters and scammers based in Spain and will never pay out any claims. Don't insure through them as the insurance is worthless. If you want to contact me for proof or enquiries my email address is interstellar9573@yahoo.com.au

I'd be happy to help anyone so that these scammers don't rip off more people.

We where insured with Edward Williams, we had 3 different claims all paid by them, One was for lost mast, one for damge to cabin and outboard when hit, and one for stolen dinghy.



Just make sure read everything well like keeping all the reciepts, photos, video documentation.



In clarity they did not just pay out. I had to replace everything/fix everything at my own expense and send them the reciepts which they payed my back on.



Somethings depending on what they where they paid out on a depreciated value. Though they did tell me both before and after I could insure for an agreed upon amount.



Last time I was insured was around 4yrs ago.
