Compare Boat Insurance for Matlacha & Nearby Waters
From flats boats and fishing skiffs to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Matlacha Pass, Pine Island Sound, the Gulf of Mexico, and trips to nearby inlets or barrier islands.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature shallow flats, tidal changes, and Gulf influences. 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 Pine Island Sound or along the Gulf Coast? 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 FL waters must be registered with the FL Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Florida Boater Safety ID Card issued via FWC-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides/currents (e.g., NOAA Matlacha Pass 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.
