Compare Boat Insurance for Nome & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Norton Sound, the Bering Sea, and trips to nearby rivers like the Snake River, considering icy conditions and seasonal access.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature remote areas, icy conditions, and potential for sudden weather changes. 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.
Headed to the Bering Sea or Norton Sound? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any local storage requirements.

Alaska Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Alaska waters must be registered with the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles, 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 Nome stations), no-wake zones, and pumpout access before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
