Compare Boat Insurance for Lakeside & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Lake McConaughy, the North Platte River, and nearby lakes in western Nebraska.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature calm lakes, rivers, and potential 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 Lake McConaughy or along the North Platte? 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 issued via Nebraska-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions (e.g., NOAA for Lake McConaughy), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Lakeside Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near Lake McConaughy and head to the North Platte River or other western Nebraska lakes. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local marina or trailer to ramps.
