Boat Insurance Hoops - Follow Up

After WAY too many follow up phone calls and emails on our part, ......as a sale person in my former life, it always floors me when we have to chase and chase someone in order to do business with them and give them our money!  Anyway...we now have new boat insurance.  There are still restrictions on where we can and can't go (argh) and the deductible is lower than we would like (couldn't get a higher one) making the annual higher but we have it for now.  We will see how it goes and re-evaluated down the line.  FYI we are now with Pantaenius.

  1. Weird... never heard of a insurance company that wouldn't let you set your deductible as high as you want.

    1. Yes. Our boat age and last survey date was ok so we didn't have to get one.

  3. Interesting Sabrina. I found Pantaenius very accommodating and helpful. I am very happy with our policy including the cost and restrictions. I think we can sail the entire Canadian and US coast down to about Jacksonville and out to Bermuda. Our policy is $600 less than our previous policy and is much less restrictive. I think our deductible is 10%. Most all the reviews of claims have been very good. I would be happy to compare policies if you like. I am sure our boat values should be very close.

  4. Glad you got things straightened out, even though not totally to your liking. Where are you restricted from going?

    1. We can now go to the eastern Caribbean but not S America or Nova Scotia or east past 55 or some such.
