Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature river currents, locks, and varying conditions. 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 or Loup River? 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 and PWCs 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/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Nebraska-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. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.

Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.

Where Elba Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the Loup River and head to the Platte River or nearby lakes. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat upriver or trailer to ramps.

Pro tip: Keep photos of your hull, HIN, and electronics, plus receipts for upgrades. It helps with agreed value and claims.
