Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist has opened a new office at Parkstone Bay Marina, Poole. This strategic move places the specialist boat insurer at the heart of the boating community, offering a more personalised and accessible service for boat owners who seek great customer service and tailored protection for their watercraft.

As part of the Haven Knox-Johnston family, and a Howden Group company, Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist provides bespoke insurance solutions for all boat owners, including those whose needs go beyond the ordinary. Whether it's high-performance motorboats, RIBS and jet-skis, or long-distance bluewater cruising yachts bound for life-changing adventures, the new Parkstone Bay Marina office provides a welcoming space where clients can receive personalised, expert advice from a team that shares their passion for boating.

The decision to open an office in one of Poole Harbour's key marinas reflects Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist's dedication to supporting and engaging with local boaters and businesses. The move enables the team to work ever more closely with marinas, yacht clubs, and marine service providers by providing their clients with a hands-on, face-to-face service in a relaxed and convenient setting.

Steve Hook, Marine Divisional Director for the Howden Group, commented: "At Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist, we believe that the best way to serve boat owners is by being where they are. Opening our new office at Parkstone Bay Marina allows us to connect with our customers on a deeper level, offering a truly personalised service. Whether it's insuring a jet ski, a world-cruising yacht, or a weekend powerboat, we want to make sure they get insurance that fits their needs."

Yvonne Hall, Marine Account Manager and Office Manager at Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist, added:"As a keen sailor myself, I understand that no two boaters are the same - and their insurance shouldn't be either. We're excited to bring our expertise closer to the people we serve, making it easier for boaters to get the right coverage without the hassle. Parkstone Bay Marina is a fantastic hub for the boating community, and we're thrilled to be part of it."

Boat owners are encouraged to visit the new office at Parkstone Bay Marina to meet the team, discuss their insurance needs, and learn more about the bespoke cover available for their unique vessels.
