Compare Boat Insurance for Harvard & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels on local lakes and rivers, we build policies for areas like Harlan County Lake, the Platte River, and trips to nearby reservoirs in Nebraska.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's waterways, including rivers and lakes, present unique conditions like varying water levels 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 River or to Harlan County Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm plans, 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 issued via approved Nebraska courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels or lake conditions (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Facilities 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.
