Compare Boat Insurance for Kaktovik & Nearby Waters
From small skiffs and fishing boats to PWCs navigating the Arctic Ocean and rivers on the North Slope, we build policies for the Beaufort Sea, Barter Island, and trips along the coastal waters.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature ice, currents, and remote conditions in the Arctic. 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.
Heading out to the Beaufort Sea or around Barter Island? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and harbor contract requirements.

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, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Alaska-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides/ice conditions (e.g., NOAA Barter Island stations), no-wake zones, and pumpout access before you cast off. Harbors commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a harbor, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
