Compare Boat Insurance for Sorrento & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to sailboats and powerboats, we build policies for Frenchman’s Bay, Mount Desert Island, and coastal trips along the Maine shoreline.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature coastal tides, fog, and island navigation. 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 around Mount Desert Island or along the coast? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina requirements.

Maine Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Maine waters must be registered with the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Maine-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides and currents (e.g., NOAA stations near Sorrento), no-wake zones, and pumpout access before you cast off. Marinas often 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.
