Compare Boat Insurance for Telluride & Nearby Waters
From mountain lakes and river excursions to small fishing boats and PWCs, we build policies for the San Miguel River, nearby reservoirs like Ridgeway, and high-altitude adventures in the San Juan Mountains.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature mountain rivers, reservoirs, and variable weather conditions. 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 on the San Miguel River or to Ridgeway Reservoir? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and high-altitude 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 water levels and conditions (e.g., USGS for the San Miguel River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Marinas or launch sites commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
