Compare Boat Insurance for Scarbro & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the New River, Kanawha River, and nearby lakes in West Virginia, including weekend trips to Bluestone State Park or Summersville Lake.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
West Virginia's rivers and lakes feature 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.
Planning trips on the New River or Kanawha? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss 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 Division of Natural Resources. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Education Certificate issued via WV DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
