Compare Boat Insurance for Sitka & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Big Sandy River, Tug Fork, and trips to nearby lakes like Dewey Lake or the Ohio River.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential currents from the Big Sandy and Ohio Rivers. 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 down 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 marina requirements.

Kentucky Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on KY waters must be registered with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most operators need a Kentucky Boating Education Certificate issued via approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for Big Sandy River), 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.
Where Sitka Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
