Compare Boat Insurance for Chester & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to canoes and kayaks on the Republican River or nearby lakes like Harlan County Reservoir, we build policies for Chester-area waterways and trips to regional spots in Nebraska.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's rivers and lakes, like the Republican River, bring varying water levels, wildlife, 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 Republican River or to Harlan County Reservoir? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Nebraska Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Nebraska waters must be registered with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Education
Operators of motorboats and PWCs may need to complete a boating safety course approved by Nebraska. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and access points before you go. Storage facilities often 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.
