Compare Boat Insurance for Iaeger & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to canoes on the Tug Fork River and nearby lakes like Bluestone Lake, we build policies for local rivers, reservoirs, and recreational trips in McDowell County.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers with currents, potential flooding, and recreational areas. 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 the Tug Fork or Bluestone Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any storage 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 (DNR), and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Education Certificate issued via WV DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges for Tug Fork), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Storage facilities commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you store at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
