Compare Boat Insurance for Pelham & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to canoes and kayaks on local rivers and lakes, we build policies for the Merrimack River, Beaver Brook, and nearby New Hampshire waterways.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential currents. 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 Merrimack River or local lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any storage requirements.

New Hampshire Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on NH waters must be registered with NH Fish and Game. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Education Certificate issued via NH-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and conditions (e.g., NOAA for Merrimack River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Storage facilities 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.
