Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and recreational areas with currents, weather changes, and shared traffic. 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 Kentucky River or to Buckhorn Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any marina or launch site 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

Most 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 (e.g., USGS 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 Thousandsticks Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the Kentucky River or head to local lakes like Buckhorn Lake. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your marina or launch site—whether you keep the boat on the river or trailer to nearby reservoirs.

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