Compare Boat Insurance for Wawona & Nearby Waters
From kayaks and fishing boats to small motorboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Merced River, Wawona Lake, and trips to nearby reservoirs in Yosemite National Park.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and park areas with varying currents, wildlife, and seasonal 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.
Exploring the Merced River or heading to Wawona Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and park or launch site requirements.

California Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on CA waters must be registered with the California DMV, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a California Boater Card, issued through approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), park rules, and weather conditions before you cast off. Parks and launch sites often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use park facilities, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
