The company’s vision is simply; to offer excellent services at competitive prices, to offer clear policy wordings that pay claims when the clients expects them to be paid and to make the whole process easy for the client.

To this end the company forego proposal forms, it is possible for clients to arrange cover in one short phone call and not have the hassle of form filling thereafter. Policy documents are available to show to marinas or launch sites in the time it takes for postal delivery.

Through a dedicated customer service team backed by in-house underwriters, callers have access to decision makers to get the answers they need.

Haven supports the view that it is prudent to get a survey when buying a second-hand boat. However, with limited exceptions, if you have a coastal boat, Haven only asks for a survey if it is over 25 years of age. Craft used on inland waters only, have this extended to 30 years. The company only asks for an initial survey, not regular, costly updates.

Haven reviews policy wordings regularly and will do so again this year. Each time they become clearer and we have frequent commendations from customers about our claims handling saying our service is speedy, efficient and equitable.

As well as benefits to the client, the company offers peace of mind to many marinas, yacht brokers and other associated marine trades. Haven can introduce its clients to a company with a strong name and strong financial backing. Its parent company, Amlin, has excellent financial ratings from top ratings agencies meaning clients’ money is safe.
