Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature mountain lakes, rivers, and varying elevations with risks like sudden weather changes and recreational traffic. 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 Boulder Reservoir or nearby rivers? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

Colorado Boating Basics (What to Know)

Registration & Title

Most boats and PWCs operating on Colorado waters must be registered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.

Boating Safety Certificate

Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Colorado-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, no-wake zones, and access before you cast off. Reservoirs commonly require proof of insurance to launch.

Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public launches, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.

Where Boulder Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

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