Compare Boat Insurance for Denver & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons on reservoirs like Cherry Creek and Chatfield to river trips on the South Platte, we build policies for Denver's lakes, rivers, and mountain outings.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Denver's waterways include reservoirs, rivers, and high-altitude lakes with varying conditions like wind, elevation 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.
Planning trips to Chatfield Reservoir or along the South Platte? 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 operating on Colorado waters must be registered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat 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, and no-wake zones before you cast off. Marinas or parks may require proof of insurance to launch.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
