Compare Boat Insurance for Fort Myers Beach & Nearby Waters
From inshore fishing boats and pontoons to PWCs and small cruisers, we build policies for Estero Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caloosahatchee River, and trips to nearby islands.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature calm bays, open Gulf waters, and hurricane risks. 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.
Heading out to the Gulf or along the Caloosahatchee? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Florida Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Florida waters must be registered with the FWC, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need to complete a Florida Boating Safety Course approved by the FWC. Carry your completion card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides/currents (e.g., NOAA Fort Myers stations), no-wake zones, 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.
