Compare Boat Insurance for Brattleboro & Nearby Waters
From kayaks and canoes to fishing boats and PWCs, we build policies for the Connecticut River, local lakes, and trips to Lake Champlain or Vermont's waterways.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and seasonal currents. 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 Connecticut River or heading to Lake Champlain? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any marina requirements.

Vermont Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Motorboats and PWCs operating on VT waters must be registered with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorboats and PWCs may need to complete a boating safety course approved by Vermont Fish and Wildlife. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels, weather, and 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.
