Compare Boat Insurance for Taos & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks on the Rio Grande to recreational vessels on lakes like Abiquiu Reservoir and Elephant Butte, we build policies for Taos County, the Rio Grande, and trips to northern New Mexico lakes.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waters feature mountain lakes, rivers with varying flows, and 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, wildfire/flood protection, salvage, and fishing gear. If you trailer, we’ll address trailer coverage and auto liability for road incidents.
Heading to the Rio Grande or nearby reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits for inland waters, discuss seasonal storage, storm plans, and any lake-specific requirements.

New Mexico Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on NM waters must be registered with the NM MVD. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat operators need a Boating Safety Certificate from NM State Parks or approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS Rio Grande gauges), weather, and park rules before you cast off. Marinas or state parks may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a lake, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Taos Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Rio Grande or head to Abiquiu Reservoir and other northern lakes. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local ramp or trailer to state parks.
