Compare Boat Insurance for Franklin & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and PWCs, we build policies for the Republican River, Harlan County Reservoir, and nearby lakes in Franklin and surrounding areas.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's rivers and reservoirs bring varying water levels, winds, 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 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
Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate through approved Nebraska courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance for storage.
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.
