Compare Boat Insurance for Elsmere & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and small pontoons to canoes and PWCs, we build policies for Nebraska's lakes and rivers like Lake McConaughy, the Platte River, and local reservoirs around Elsmere.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's waterways include rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions like currents and weather changes. 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 Platte or to Lake McConaughy? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local 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 from Nebraska-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels or lake conditions (e.g., via USGS), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
