Compare Boat Insurance for Rico & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs on the Dolores River, McPhee Reservoir, and mountain lakes, we build policies for local waterways and trips to nearby reservoirs or rivers in southwestern Colorado.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and mountain conditions with potential for swift currents, 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.
Heading to McPhee Reservoir or along the Dolores River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any 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. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Colorado Parks and Wildlife–approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river flows, weather, and access points (e.g., USGS gauges for the Dolores River) before you cast off. Storage areas may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
