Compare Boat Insurance for Swanton & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Lake Erie, the Maumee River, and trips to nearby reservoirs in the Toledo area.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways on Lake Erie and the Maumee River bring variable weather, currents, and recreational 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 out on Lake Erie or along the Maumee? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Ohio Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Ohio waters must be registered with the Ohio DNR, 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 and weather (e.g., NOAA Lake Erie stations), no-wake zones, and local regulations 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 Swanton Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
