Anyone know if CNA is still writing boat insurance policies?   I too had a 
claim that they handled wonderfully (caused by another boat and a marina).

For those who have relatively recently switched insurance [particularly from 
BoatUS / Geico] to another, were you required to get a new / recent survey as 
part of the process?  Assuming the new policy is Agreed Value, how was that 
value set?

It seems many have switched to Berkeley Rec Marine.  Does anyone have actual 
claims experience with Berkeley?
It does not appear from their website that Berkeley Marine requires a survey.

I had a claim through Boat US back when it was CNA and the process was as 
straight forward as one could wish, no issues whatsoever.  Even while repairs 
were underway additional damage was discovered  - an estimate for the 
additional damage was sent in and a check was on its way.

Thanks,
Brian

As am I.

I too danced on their heads about this substantial change to coverage WITHOUT 
notice.

Berkeley ticked my boxes…replacement and riders available for offshore passages 
to Bermuda.

Unfortunately the changes and problems started when Boat U.S. in 2007, and was 
exacerbated when coverage was transferred to GEICO (as opposed to CNA which 
used to issue the policies).

I made a VERY STRONG argument to them about a 18 months ago when I found out 
they had not pointed out the depreciation provision during the quoting process.

This is clearly a violation of insurance ethics, as they have a DUTY to point 
out the shortcomings in their policy.

If I got screwed by their depreciation rules, I would pursue an Errors and 
Omissions / Bad Faith claim against them.

Yes, I am in the industry,
