Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

New Mexico's lakes and rivers present unique conditions like varying water levels, wind, 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 Elephant Butte or Navajo Lake? 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. 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 before you cast off. Marinas or public ramps may 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.
