Compare Boat Insurance for Madison & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Long Island Sound, the Connecticut River, and weekend trips to the Shore.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways mix commercial traffic, currents, bridges, and shifting 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.
Headed along the Connecticut River or out to Long Island Sound? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Connecticut Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on CT waters must be registered with the CT DMV, and boats over certain lengths must be titled. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via CT DEEP–approved courses (with a proctored exam). Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides/currents (e.g., NOAA Madison stations), no-wake zones, bridges, and pumpout access before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Madison Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
