Compare Boat Insurance for Dona Ana & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels on the Rio Grande and nearby lakes like Elephant Butte, we build policies for Dona Ana County, the Rio Grande, and trips to reservoirs and state parks.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and desert conditions with risks like high winds, variable 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.
Heading to Elephant Butte Reservoir or along the Rio Grande? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any storage requirements.

New Mexico Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on NM waters must be registered with NM State Parks, and certain vessels may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via NM State Parks-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS Rio Grande gauges), weather conditions, and access points before you cast off. Marinas or parks may require proof of insurance to launch.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
