Compare Boat Insurance for Cowles & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and kayaks on the Republican River and nearby lakes, we build policies for local waterways in south-central Nebraska, including reservoirs and river trips.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's rivers and lakes bring varying water levels, currents, 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 nearby reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, storm plans, and launch site 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
Most 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), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
