Compare Boat Insurance for Doctor Phillips & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for local lakes like Lake Butler, the Butler Chain of Lakes, and trips to nearby rivers or coastal areas in Central Florida.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Central Florida waterways feature lakes, rivers, and potential storms. 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 Butler Chain or to the St. Johns River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm preparations, and marina requirements.

Florida Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Florida waters must be registered with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Safety ID Card issued via FWC-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check weather, water levels, and FWC resources for no-wake zones and 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.
