Compare Boat Insurance for Santa Cruz & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Rio Grande, Abiquiu Lake, and nearby reservoirs in northern New Mexico, including trips to Cochiti Lake or the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Northern New Mexico's waterways feature rivers, lakes, and mountain reservoirs with varying water levels, currents, 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.
Planning trips on the Rio Grande or to Abiquiu Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and access requirements for boat ramps or storage.

New Mexico Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on New Mexico waters must be registered with NM State Parks, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via NM-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS Rio Grande gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Boat ramps often 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.
Where Santa Cruz Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Rio Grande and head to Abiquiu Lake, Cochiti Lake, or other northern reservoirs. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local ramp, trailer to lakes, or use Rio Grande access points.
