Client Testimonials
Posted on Colin AubeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a boat and was offered an insurance quote from Portside Marine insurance. Soon after agreeing to consider their insurance for my new to me boat, I received a quote by email from Laura. There was never any pressure sales tactics used to get my business. I was told by my salesman that Portside Insurance always beats competitor quotes while offering better coverage policies and value for your money. I reached out to my insurance broker who I’ve had boat insurance coverage for the last 4 years for a quote prior to the final purchase for my new boat. Portside was about 60% less than the quote I received from my broker with Premier Insurance. Portside’s policy coverage is as good or better than my previous coverages on the boat I traded in. Laura was fantastic to deal with and was very quick to get me the insurance information and to answer any questions that I had. I signed the documents through accusign and received my insurance certificate in time to tow my boat home shortly after having e-signed the paperwork. Thank you Laura for the great service and insurance policy for my new toy.Posted on Brian FunkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great response time!
