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).

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.

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.

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.
