Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways in California's Central Valley feature rivers, lakes, and potential for variable conditions like flooding or debris. 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 on the San Joaquin River or to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any marina or launch site requirements.

California Boating Basics (What to Know)

Registration & Title

Most boats and PWCs operating on CA waterways must be registered with the California DMV, and certain vessels may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.

Boating Safety Certificate

Most powerboat/PWC operators need a California Boater Card, obtained through approved courses by the California State Parks. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check river levels (e.g., USGS San Joaquin stations), no-wake zones, and access points 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.

Where Caruthers Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the San Joaquin River or local lakes and head to the Delta or nearby reservoirs. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your launch site or marina—whether you keep the boat locally or trailer to larger waterways.

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