Compare Boat Insurance for Palmerton & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Lehigh River, nearby lakes, and trips to the Delaware Water Gap or Pocono reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and recreational areas with varying currents and 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.
Planning trips on the Lehigh River or to the Delaware Water Gap? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

Pennsylvania Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on PA waters must be registered with the PA Fish and Boat Commission, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via PA-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and conditions (e.g., USGS gauges for the Lehigh River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
