Compare Boat Insurance for College & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Tanana River, Chena River, and trips to nearby lakes and rivers in Interior Alaska.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Alaska's waterways feature remote areas, varying water levels, wildlife encounters, and extreme weather. A modern boat policy bundles hull (your boat), liability (bodily injury & property damage you cause), medical payments, and options like on-water towing, fuel-spill liability, salvage & wreck removal, and fishing gear/personal effects. If you trailer, we’ll also address trailer coverage and where auto liability responds during over-the-road incidents.
Planning trips on the Tanana or Chena Rivers? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any specific requirements for remote storage.

Alaska Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Alaska waters must be registered with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of certain vessels may need a boating safety course; check with Alaska for requirements and carry any necessary certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and weather (e.g., NOAA for Tanana River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Remote areas often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public launch sites, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where College Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Tanana River and head to the Chena River or nearby lakes. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat on the river, at local marinas, or trailer to remote ramps.
