Compare Boat Insurance for New Boston & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Ohio River, Scioto River, and weekend trips to nearby lakes and reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature river currents, locks, and recreational traffic on the Ohio and Scioto Rivers. 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.
Planning trips on the Ohio River or to area lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss 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 Boater Education Certificate issued via OH DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and conditions (e.g., NOAA gauges for the Ohio River), no-wake zones, and locks 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 New Boston Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Ohio River and head to local reservoirs or downstream. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your marina—whether you keep the boat on the Scioto River, at nearby marinas, or trailer to area lakes.
