Compare Boat Insurance for Mitchell & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small recreational vessels, we build policies for the North Platte River, Lake McConaughy, and nearby reservoirs in western Nebraska.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's rivers and lakes present unique challenges like varying water levels, wind, and recreational traffic. A solid boat policy includes hull coverage, liability for injuries or damage, medical payments, and options such as on-water towing, personal effects, and trailer protection for overland transport.
Whether you're on the North Platte or heading to Lake McConaughy, we'll set appropriate navigation limits, discuss seasonal storage, and cover storm-related risks.

Nebraska Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Nebraska waters must be registered with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Keep registration aboard at all times.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorboats may need a boating education certificate from approved Nebraska courses. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS North Platte stations), no-wake zones, and access points before you go. Some areas may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We'll provide necessary documents.
