Compare Boat Insurance for Gardnerville & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Lake Tahoe, the Carson River, and trips to nearby reservoirs and Sierra Nevada lakes.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature mountain lakes, rivers, and varying 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 Lake Tahoe or along the Carson River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Nevada Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Nevada waters must be registered with the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats/PWCs may need to complete a boating safety course through approved providers; check NDOW for requirements and carry your certification.
Local Planning
Check weather, water levels (e.g., NOAA for Lake Tahoe), no-wake zones, and pumpout access before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
