I had Markel in the past. If you cancel your policy on any day other than the policy renewal date, they screw you over with fees. I will never use them again after that experience. I think they suck.

If we're comparing policy forms (the contract they use in the event of a claim aka the many pages behind your declarations page)... "maybe" Markel. But seriously, there are better options out there.... Not sure what the boat is but what other carriers have you gotten rates from?

It's hard to tell you what carrier would be best without knowing the boat. You should never choose an insurance policy solely on price..... a whole myriad of things should weigh into your decision when you buy a policy.
