Compare Boat Insurance for Nelson & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels on the Colorado River and Lake Mead, we build policies for local launches, river trips, and outings in the Boulder City area.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways like the Colorado River and Lake Mead involve currents, varying water levels, and recreational traffic. 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 Colorado River or to Lake Mead? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any marina requirements.

Nevada Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Nevada waters must be registered with the Nevada DMV, and certain vessels may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats/PWCs may need a Boating Safety Certificate through Nevada Department of Wildlife-approved courses. Carry your certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and weather (e.g., NOAA for the Colorado River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Marinas often 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.
