Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways mix commercial traffic, currents, bridges, and shifting 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.

Headed down the Hudson or around to the Rondout? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

New York Boating Basics (What to Know)

Registration & Title

Most boats and PWCs operating on NY waters must be registered with the NY DMV, and boats over certain lengths must be titled. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.

Boating Safety Certificate

Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via NY-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check tides/currents (e.g., NOAA Kingston stations), no-wake zones, bridges, and pumpout access before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.

Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.

Where Kingston Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners berth or launch near the Hudson River and head to Rondout Creek, Esopus Creek, or the Catskills. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your marina—whether you keep the boat upriver, at local marinas in Kingston, or trailer to nearby ramps.

Pro tip: Keep photos of your hull, HIN, and electronics, plus receipts for upgrades. It helps with agreed value and claims.
