Compare Boat Insurance for Chesterville & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for local lakes, rivers, and reservoirs in Morrow County, including Alum Creek Lake, the Olentangy River, and trips to nearby waterways.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature inland lakes, rivers, and 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.
Heading to Alum Creek or along the Olentangy? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any storage requirements.

Ohio Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Ohio waters must be registered with the Ohio BMV, 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 Ohio DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., NOAA for nearby rivers), 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.
