Compare Boat Insurance for High Shoals & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to lake cruisers on the South Fork Catawba River or nearby Lake Norman, we build policies for local rivers, lakes, and weekend outings in Gaston County.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways include rivers, lakes, and potential recreational areas with varying 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.
Exploring the South Fork Catawba River or heading to Lake Norman? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any marina requirements.

North Carolina Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on NC public waters must be registered with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via NC-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels, lake conditions, and any no-wake zones 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.
