Compare Boat Insurance for Velarde & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Rio Grande, nearby lakes, and weekend trips to reservoirs like Abiquiu or Cochiti.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential for rapid weather changes. 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 along the Rio Grande or to nearby reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and 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 Education 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. Storage facilities commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you store at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Velarde Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
