Compare Boat Insurance for West Simsbury & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Farmington River, Connecticut River, and local lakes, including trips to nearby reservoirs and state parks.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying currents, weather, 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.
Planning trips on the Farmington or Connecticut River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site 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 may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via CT DEEP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions (e.g., USGS gauges for the Farmington River), no-wake zones, and access points before you launch. Many sites require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
