Compare Boat Insurance for Smith Lake & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to lake cruisers, we build policies for Smith Lake, nearby reservoirs, and trips to the Zuni Mountains or other New Mexico waters.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waters in New Mexico feature lakes, reservoirs, and potential weather shifts. 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.
Exploring Smith Lake or nearby areas? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local requirements.

New Mexico Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on New Mexico waters must be registered with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via New Mexico-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and weather (e.g., NOAA forecasts), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
