Compare Boat Insurance for Busy & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels, we build policies for the Kentucky River, local lakes like Buckhorn Lake, and nearby waterways in eastern Kentucky.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential hazards like currents and weather changes. 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.
Exploring the Kentucky River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm plans, and any local requirements.

Kentucky Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Kentucky waters must be registered with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels, weather, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance for docking or launching.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Busy Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
