Compare Boat Insurance for Gilead & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Platte River, Missouri River, and nearby lakes like Harlan County Lake for weekend trips.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's rivers and lakes feature currents, weather changes, 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 Missouri? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements at local marinas or ramps.

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, and some may require titling. 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 (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Storage facilities commonly 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.
