Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Alaska's remote waterways feature cold waters, wildlife encounters, and unpredictable 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 rescue, 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.

Exploring the Kennicott River or heading to the Copper River? 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 Department of Fish and Game. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.

Boating Safety Certificate

Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate from Alaska-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check weather, tides (e.g., NOAA stations near McCarthy), and river conditions before you cast off. In remote areas, prepare for self-rescue and have proper coverage.

Tip: If your boat is financed or stored in a remote location, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.

Where McCarthy Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the Kennicott River and head to Wrangell-St. Elias lakes or the Copper River. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans for remote areas—whether you keep the boat riverside or trailer to access points.

Pro tip: Keep photos of your hull, HIN, and electronics, plus receipts for upgrades. It helps with agreed value and claims.
