Compare Boat Insurance for Kobuk & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small skiffs and PWCs, we build policies for the Kobuk River, surrounding wilderness areas, and trips to nearby lakes or the Arctic coast.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Alaska's remote waterways, including the Kobuk River, feature swift currents, 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 along the Kobuk or to the Arctic Ocean? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and remote storage requirements.

Alaska Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Alaska waters must be registered with the Alaska DMV, 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 river conditions, weather (e.g., NOAA Kobuk stations), wildlife alerts, and access points before you cast off. Remote areas often require proof of insurance for guided trips or rentals.
Tip: If your boat is financed or used in guided tours, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Kobuk Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Kobuk River and head to surrounding lakes, the Arctic coast, or nearby wilderness areas. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat riverside, at local access points, or trailer to remote ramps.
