Compare Boat Insurance for Little Deer Isle & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Penobscot Bay, the waters around Little Deer Isle, and trips to nearby islands like Deer Isle and Stonington.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways mix tidal influences, islands, and varying weather. 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.
Headed around Penobscot Bay or to nearby islands? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Maine Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Maine waters must be registered with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Education Certificate issued via Maine-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides/currents (e.g., NOAA stations near Little Deer Isle), 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.
