Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Nebraska's rivers and lakes present unique challenges like varying water levels, wind, 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 Platte or to nearby reservoirs? 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 Certificate

Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate through 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 facilities 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.

Where Elwood Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near the Platte River and head to local lakes or reservoirs. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a river access or trailer to nearby spots.

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