Compare Boat Insurance for Gallipolis Ferry & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Ohio River, Kanawha River, and nearby lakes or reservoirs in West Virginia.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature river currents, locks, and recreational areas along the Ohio and Kanawha 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 nearby reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

West Virginia Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on WV waters must be registered with the WV Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR), 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 Education Certificate issued via WVDNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and currents (e.g., USACE gauges for the Ohio River), no-wake zones, and pumpout access 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 Gallipolis Ferry Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Ohio River and head to the Kanawha River or nearby reservoirs. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your marina—whether you keep the boat along the riverbanks or trailer to local ramps.
