Compare Boat Insurance for Gardner & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to PWCs and trailers, we build policies for Wachusett Reservoir, Quabbin Reservoir, and nearby rivers in Central Massachusetts.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Inland lakes and rivers in Massachusetts come with varying water levels, weather shifts, and recreational 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.
Heading to Wachusett or Quabbin? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Massachusetts Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on MA waters must be registered with the MA RMV, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via MA-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Storage facilities commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
