Compare Boat Insurance for Santa Fe & Nearby Waters
From trailerable fishing boats and recreational crafts to small sailboats, we build policies for lakes like Abiquiu Reservoir and Cochiti Lake, the Rio Grande, and trips to Elephant Butte.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature reservoirs, rivers, and varying weather 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.
Planning trips on the Rio Grande or to nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, weather preparedness, and any specific requirements for your launch site.

New Mexico Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on NM waters must be registered with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorized boats may need to complete a boating safety course approved by NM Game and Fish. Carry your certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather conditions, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance for mooring.
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.
