Compare Boat Insurance for Wausa & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats on the Niobrara River to lake cruisers on Lewis and Clark Lake, we build policies for Nebraska's rivers and reservoirs, including trips to the Missouri River and local lakes.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's waterways include rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions like currents and weather. 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 Missouri River or local lakes? 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 and lake conditions (e.g., USGS gauges), 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 store at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
