Compare Boat Insurance for Rio Chiquito & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Rio Grande, nearby reservoirs like Abiquiu Lake, and trips to Cochiti Lake or the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and mountain lakes with varying currents, weather, 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 the Rio Grande or Abiquiu Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

New Mexico Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on NM waters must be registered with the NM Department of Game and Fish, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via NM-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river flows and conditions (e.g., USGS Rio Grande stations), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
