Compare Boat Insurance for Minatare & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and small pontoons to PWCs and canoes, we build policies for the North Platte River, Lake Minatare, and trips to nearby reservoirs like Lake McConaughy.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and varying weather conditions. 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 NE 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 NE-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS North Platte gauges), no-wake zones, and boat ramps before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you store at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
