Compare Boat Insurance for Deer & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to PWCs, we build policies for the Buffalo National River, nearby lakes, and trips through the Ozarks.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and varying conditions in the Ozarks. 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.
Heading to the Buffalo River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

Arkansas Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Arkansas waters must be registered with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via AGFC-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Buffalo River), no-wake zones, and access points before you launch. Sites often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
