Compare Boat Insurance for Gulnare & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Big Sandy River, Tug Fork, and nearby lakes, including trips to Paintsville Lake or the Ohio River.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature river currents, locks, and varying water levels. 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 Big Sandy or to the Ohio River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any marina or ramp requirements.

Kentucky Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on KY waters must be registered with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate from Kentucky-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for Big Sandy River), no-wake zones, and pumpout access before you cast off. Marinas or ramps may require proof of insurance.
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.
