Compare Boat Insurance for Ferry & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and skiffs to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Tanana River, Yukon River, and trips to nearby lakes 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, emergency assistance, salvage, and fishing gear. If you trailer, we’ll address trailer coverage and auto liability for road incidents.
Planning trips on the Tanana or Yukon Rivers? We’ll set navigation limits for your routes, discuss seasonal storage, ice considerations, and remote area plans.

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 (ADFG). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats and PWCs may need to complete a boating safety course approved by the U.S. Coast Guard or ADFG. Carry your certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels, currents, and weather (e.g., NOAA stations), and be aware of wildlife and remote conditions before you launch.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored in a marina, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Ferry Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Tanana River and head to nearby lakes or the Yukon. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and weather plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat riverside or trailer to remote ramps.
Our Process for Ferry Boaters
