Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and recreational areas with varying conditions. 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 Eagle Creek or White River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Indiana Boating Basics (What to Know)

Registration & Title

Most boats and PWCs operating on IN waters must be registered with the IN BMV, and boats over certain lengths must be titled. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.

Boating Safety Certificate

Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Education Certificate issued via IN DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check river levels (e.g., USGS White River 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 Indianapolis Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the White River or reservoirs and head to Eagle Creek, Geist, 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 spots.

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