Compare Boat Insurance for Romney & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the South Branch Potomac River, Cacapon River, and weekend trips to nearby lakes and mountains.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers with currents, rocks, and varying water levels. 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 down the South Branch Potomac or to Cacapon River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and 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 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 Safety Certificate issued via WV DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the South Branch Potomac), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
