Hello Jay and thank you for your feedback. As professionals and fellow boaters ourselves we take very seriously any opportunity to improve, for sure if a fellow boater and a customer is not satisfied with any aspects of our offering and service.

We see that indeed you tried to reach us three times by chat on July 1st but unfortunately couldnt find record of any missed call, voicemail, or e-mails. We are concerned about that and will appreciate it if you could get in touch and provide more details.

We see that Amanda was able to return your missed chats on July 1st and assist you with adding a lien holder but still would like to 1) make sure that all your need were addressed 2) further research the case so to fix any technology bugs or issues with our processes.

You can reach us at 1-855-BUY-AHOY (1-855-289-2469) Mon-Fri 9am to 8pm EST or chat with us on our website (www.ahoy.insure) during those times. You can also e-mail us at firstmate@ahoy.insure.

We also texted you with the same information.

Looking forward to further discussing.

Thanks for the review Stephen. Would love to get your feedback about the mobile app. If you are open to providing as such please e-mail us at info@ahoy.insure.

We are also happy you found the service to be good. As boaters it is important to us that we provide professional, boater-centric, value. We are saddened it was challenging to get hold of us. We will investigate and improve.

Hello. We are saddened to hear this has been your experience. Even though it seems like between May 12th and the renewal date there were several interactions between our FiirstMate team and yourself. What is most important to us is your satisfaction and we are glad you had a discussion with Mark from our team yesterday and that things are settled.

If there is anything else we can be of help with then please reach out to us by phone (1-855-289-2469) or chat Mon-Fri 9am to 8pm EST.

Dear Tim- thank you for writing us here as we have no records of calls, e-mails or chats coming from you. Our records also show that the policy declaration page and packet were sent to you by e-mail on June 3rd and that the e-mail was delivered. Could you please check your SPAM folder for e-mails coming from firstmate@ahoy.insure?

What is most important for us is to make sure you now have what you need and you can get on the water and fishing ASAP. Our team is going to reach out to you ASAP. Please be on the lookout for calls and texts from Ahoy!. Please also feel free to call us at 1-855-289-2469 Mon-Fri 9am to 8pm EST.

We hope that now things will be settled and are committed to making you a happy boater.
