Compare Boat Insurance for Groton & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Groton Pond, Peacham Pond, and nearby lakes in the Northeast Kingdom, including trips to Lake Champlain or the Connecticut River.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature lakes, rivers, and seasonal weather changes. 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 Lake Champlain or along the Connecticut River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any launch site requirements.

Vermont Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on VT waters must be registered with the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate from Vermont Fish and Wildlife-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS for Groton area), weather, and any restrictions before you cast off. Marinas or public launches may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
