However, cant find any record under the name Gina Simao. Was the quote under this name? Feel free to e-mail us at info@ahoy.insure with your details and we will for sure follow up in a timely manner. Ahoy!

The initial application and review - great!
The initial application and review was straightforward! No trick questions or last minute ‘gotcha’ moments. The coordination with Boatfix was outstanding and clear - it is an option to help protect our investment, not a hidden cost required to get insurance. So far we’re happy!

Thanks much Jennifer for the great review. We are boaters as well so aspire to provide our community the offering and service we would have liked having. So we are very happy when we receive reviews like yours. Especially if they are related to our unique offering. Would it be provided by Ahoy! or our partners. Ahoy!

Thank you Douglas for the positive review. Ahoy!
My overall experience was fine
My overall experience was fine. I would recommend you to a friend. It was easy to sign up for a policy on line. Other than that I fortunately didn’t have much interaction. No claims or problems.
My main complaint is the time it is taking to get my refund since I cancelled the policy on the last day of the old policy and my premium had aiready been paid for the upcoming year. I feel Ike I’ve waited too long to have the money put back into my account. It’s causing me cash flow issues.
Update: Ahoy customer service read my review about the refund and remedied the issue within 24 hours. Good work. Thank you

Contacting Ahoy for Policy Updates
I initially called Ahoy to add Additional Insured. I left a message, but never received a call back. Then I tried calling again (5x), but the main number to speak with an agent was not working.
When I finally reached someone, he was very helpful and resolved my request for Additional Insured.
Contacting Ahoy! gets 3 stars. The agent I finally reached gets 5 stars.

Hello Thomas, thank you for your feedback.
Indeed, yesterday we experienced issues with the telephony system for a couple of hours due to problems the telephone service provider had. As soon as we found out about the issues we worked with the service provider to fix those. All in all we experienced such issues for a couple of hours and now the system is back up.
We aspire to provide our fellow insured boaters the best offering at the highest quality possible. As such we take cases like this very seriously and appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention. We are thrilled that once you were able to connect with Gordon (who worked with you) the service was of high quality. At the same time, we debriefed the case and learned from it so to do better in the future.
Thank you for business and, again, for the feedback. Please dont hesitate to get in touch with anything needed in the future.
Ahoy!
