Compare Boat Insurance for Western & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and small pontoons to PWCs, we build policies for Nebraska's lakes, rivers like the Platte and Big Blue, and local reservoirs around Western.
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 Platte River or local lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, storm plans, and access point 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 water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Many lakes or rivers require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public access, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
