Compare Boat Insurance for Washington Township & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for local lakes, the Hudson River, and weekend trips to nearby areas like the Shore.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways include rivers, lakes, and access to the Hudson, with varying conditions. 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.
Exploring the Hudson or local lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

New Jersey Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on NJ waters must be registered with the NJ MVC, and boats over certain lengths must be titled. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via NJ State Police–approved courses (with a proctored exam). Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides/currents (e.g., NOAA Hudson River stations), 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.
