Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and recreational areas with varying currents and 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 Chattahoochee or to Lake West Point? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina requirements.

Georgia Boating Basics (What to Know)

Registration & Title

Most boats and PWCs operating on GA waters must be registered with the GA DNR, 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 GA DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check water levels (e.g., USGS Chattahoochee gauges), 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.

Where Fortson Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the Chattahoochee River and head to Lake West Point or nearby lakes. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your marina—whether you keep the boat locally or trailer to other GA waterways.

Pro tip: Keep photos of your hull, HIN, and electronics, plus receipts for upgrades. It helps with agreed value and claims.
