Compare Boat Insurance for New Richmond & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes on the Tug Fork River to recreational crafts on nearby streams and lakes, we build policies for local waterways in Wyoming County and trips to the Kanawha River or nearby reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local rivers and lakes feature currents, varying water levels, and recreational traffic. 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 Tug Fork or Kanawha River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local launch site requirements.

West Virginia Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on WV waters must be registered with the WV Division of Natural Resources (DNR). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued through WV DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions (e.g., USGS gauges for Tug Fork River), no-wake zones, and access points before you launch.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
