Compare Boat Insurance for Fort Lyon & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats on the Arkansas River to small sailboats and PWCs on local reservoirs, we build policies for Fort Lyon, the Arkansas River, and trips to nearby lakes like John Martin Reservoir.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and varying water levels. 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 John Martin Reservoir or along the Arkansas River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and ramp/storage 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 boats over certain lengths 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 Arkansas River gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Ramps and storage areas commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you store at a ramp, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
