Compare Boat Insurance for Townsend & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Nashua River, Squannacook River, and nearby lakes in Townsend and surrounding areas.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Townsend's inland waterways involve river currents, varying water levels, 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.
Planning trips on the Nashua River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any launch site requirements.

Massachusetts Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on MA waters must be registered with the MA RMV. 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 river levels and conditions (e.g., USGS Nashua River gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Some launch sites may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
