Compare Boat Insurance for Van Nuys & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to day cruisers, we build policies for local lakes like Lake Balboa, trips to the Los Angeles River, and outings to the Pacific Ocean via nearby marinas.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local boating areas involve urban waterways, traffic, and varying conditions. 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 Pacific or local reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

California Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on CA waters must be registered with the CA DMV, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a California Boating Card issued via approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check weather, water levels, and access points (e.g., local lakes or coastal areas) 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 Van Nuys Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near local lakes or trailer to coastal areas like Marina del Rey or Long Beach. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local reservoir or head to the Pacific.
