Compare Boat Insurance for Chapman & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats, we build policies for the Platte River, nearby lakes, and trips to reservoirs like Lake McConaughy.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions like currents and 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.
Heading to the Platte River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Nebraska Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Nebraska waters must be registered with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may 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.
