Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Alaska's waterways feature remote areas, varying weather, and wildlife encounters. 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 for overland travel in rugged conditions.

Heading to Kotzebue Sound or along the Kobuk River? We’ll set navigation limits for your routes, discuss seasonal storage, and cover cold-weather preparations.

Alaska Boating Basics (What to Know)

Tip: If your boat is financed or stored in a remote area, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates as needed.

Where Kiana Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the Kobuk River and head to Kotzebue Sound or other Arctic waters. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and weather plans for your area—whether you keep the boat locally or trailer to other sites.

Our Process for Kiana Boaters

1. Vessel Snapshot — year/make/model, HIN, propulsion, electronics, trailer, storage/berth.
2. Usage & Territory — inland vs. Arctic, seasonal storage, towing zones, weather plan.
3. Coverage Fit — hull valuation, liability limits, towing, salvage, gear.
4. Compliance — confirm registration, safety requirements, and local rules.
5. Bind & Proof — issue ID cards and certificates.
