Compare Boat Insurance for San Cristobal & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Rio Grande, nearby lakes like Abiquiu or Navajo, and recreational trips in northern New Mexico.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Northern New Mexico waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and varying elevations with potential for rapid weather changes. 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 nearby lakes? 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 the NM Department of Game and Fish, and some 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 water levels, weather, and access points (e.g., via USGS or NM resources) before you cast off. Storage facilities may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you store at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
