Compare Boat Insurance for Ely & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and recreational crafts to PWCs, we build policies for the Great Basin lakes, reservoirs like Cave Lake, and trips to nearby waterways in Nevada.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waters in Nevada feature reservoirs, lakes, and potential 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 to Cave Lake or other Nevada reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local requirements.

Nevada Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Nevada waters must be registered with the Nevada DMV. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate through Nevada-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels, weather (e.g., via NOAA), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Some sites may 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.
