I have used Noble marine for the past two years and "touch wood", never had any issues. There was a recent thread for just this thing where loads of insurance names were mentioned, worth a search and worth getting as few quotes first.

What's quite cool is this:-
Quote:
Our policies automatically include loss or damage to all boats up to 30 ft in length (and trailers) whilst in transit by road within the UK/Ireland.
Third party risks whilst on the road are excluded however, as these must be insured under the vehicle insurance to comply with the Road Traffic Act
https://www.craftinsure.net/faq/faq4.asp

I didn't realise on their old site (which was a bit basic)that my boat was covered while towing as well
