Compare Boat Insurance for New Carlisle & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Lake Michigan, the St. Joseph River, and local lakes around New Carlisle, including trips to Indiana Dunes State Park.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature Lake Michigan's waves, river currents, and seasonal weather shifts. 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 St. Joseph River or to Lake Michigan? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm preparations, and marina requirements.

Indiana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on IN waters must be registered with the IN DNR, and certain boats may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boater Education Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via IN DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check weather and water levels (e.g., NOAA for Lake Michigan), no-wake zones, and access points 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.
