Compare Boat Insurance for Palmer & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels on the Platte River and nearby reservoirs, we build policies for central Nebraska lakes, rivers, and local outings.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's waterways, including rivers and reservoirs, bring varying conditions like currents and weather changes. 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 local reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any storage facility 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 from Nebraska-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels, weather, and no-wake zones before you go. Storage facilities commonly 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.
