Compare Boat Insurance for Wausau & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs on local lakes and rivers to trips in the Florida Panhandle, we build policies for Holmes Creek, the Choctawhatchee River, and nearby waterways in Washington County.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential storms in the Florida Panhandle. 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 to Holmes Creek or the Choctawhatchee River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any local requirements.

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