Compare Boat Insurance for Howard City & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Platte River, Loup River, and nearby lakes like Sherman Reservoir for your weekend outings.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and potential hazards like currents and weather shifts. 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.
Heading to the Platte or Loup Rivers? 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
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Nebraska-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps often 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.
