Compare Boat Insurance for Calabash & Nearby Waters
From inshore fishing boats and center consoles to PWCs and small cruisers, we build policies for the Calabash River, Intracoastal Waterway, and trips to the Atlantic or Myrtle Beach area.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Coastal waters around Calabash feature tides, currents, and proximity to the Atlantic, mixing recreational and commercial 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 the Intracoastal Waterway or out to the Atlantic? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

North Carolina Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on NC waters must be registered with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and boats over certain lengths must be titled. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Education Certificate issued via NC-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check tides/currents (e.g., NOAA Calabash area stations), no-wake zones, 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.
