Compare Boat Insurance for Stamford & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs on local rivers and lakes to trips in the Catskills, we build policies for the Delaware River, area reservoirs, and weekend outings in upstate New York.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and seasonal conditions in the Catskills. 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 the Delaware River or local reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any storage 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 may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via NY State-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS for Delaware River), no-wake zones, and access points 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.
