Compare Boat Insurance for Wilcox & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to PWCs and recreational vessels, we build policies for the Platte River, Harlan County Lake, and trips to nearby reservoirs in south-central Nebraska.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Nebraska's waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions like currents and weather shifts. 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 Harlan County Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any facility requirements.

Nebraska Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs on Nebraska waters must be registered with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of certain powerboats/PWCs need a Boating Safety Certificate through approved Nebraska courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Platte River), speed limits, and access points before you go. Facilities often require proof of insurance to launch or dock.
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.
