Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and mountain lakes with varying conditions like rapids, 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, salvage, and personal effects. If you trailer, we’ll address trailer coverage for road incidents.

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

Operators of motorized vessels may need a Boating Safety Certificate through approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check water levels (e.g., USGS Arkansas River gauges), weather, and local regulations before you go. Be prepared for mountain conditions.
