Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Alaska's waterways feature cold waters, wildlife encounters, and variable weather. A solid boat policy includes hull coverage, liability for injuries or damage, medical payments, and options like on-water towing, emergency assistance, salvage, and coverage for fishing gear. If you trailer your boat, we'll cover trailer incidents and auto liability.

Planning trips on the Matanuska River or to Cook Inlet? We'll set navigation limits based on your routes, discuss winter storage, and address cold-weather risks like ice damage.
