Independent Boat Insurance Agents

A day on the water should be enjoyable—not overshadowed by uncertainty about damage, theft, accidents, or liability. Boat insurance can help protect your watercraft, equipment, and finances both on and off the water, depending on the coverage selected.

As an independent insurance agency, Warrior Insurance and Services Group works with multiple carriers to help Colorado boat owners compare available policies. Our team can review your boat, how and where it is used, its storage arrangements, and other factors that may affect your coverage needs.

What you can expect from our team:

Coverage based on your watercraft: We consider the boat’s type, size, value, equipment, storage, and intended use.
Options from multiple carriers: We help you compare available policies, limits, deductibles, and features.
Straightforward guidance: We explain important coverage details, navigation limits, and exclusions in clear terms.
Ongoing support: When you purchase a new boat, add equipment, or change how it is stored or used, we can help review your coverage.

Insurance Coverage for Colorado Boaters

Boat insurance may combine physical damage protection with liability and other optional coverages. Available protection will depend on the watercraft, carrier, policy terms, limits, deductible, and how the boat is used.

What Boat Insurance Can Help Cover:

Damage to Your Boat

Physical damage coverage may help repair or replace your boat following a covered collision or other qualifying loss. Coverage may also extend to permanently attached equipment and machinery.

Theft and Other Non-Collision Losses

Depending on the policy, coverage may apply to theft, vandalism, fire, severe weather, or other covered events that damage the insured watercraft.

Bodily Injury Liability

If you are responsible for a boating accident that injures another person, liability coverage may help with qualifying medical expenses, legal defense costs, or settlements, subject to the policy limits.

Property Damage Liability

Property damage liability may help if you are responsible for damaging another boat, dock, marina, or other property while operating your watercraft.

Boat Equipment and Personal Property

Coverage may be available for boating equipment, safety gear, fishing equipment, or personal belongings kept aboard the boat. Special limits and exclusions may apply to certain items.

Emergency Assistance and Towing

Optional coverage may help with certain towing, fuel delivery, or emergency assistance expenses when your boat becomes disabled on the water. Available services and limits vary by policy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boat Insurance

What does boat insurance typically cover?

Boat insurance may include protection for physical damage to the boat, motor, trailer, and equipment, along with liability for injuries or property damage you cause. Additional options may include medical payments, emergency towing, and uninsured-watercraft coverage.

Is boat insurance required in Colorado?

Colorado requires many motorized and sail-powered boats operated on public waters to be registered. Insurance requirements may also depend on your lender, marina, storage facility, or other agreement. Even when coverage is not specifically required, it can provide important property and liability protection.

Does homeowners insurance cover my boat?

A homeowners policy may provide limited coverage for certain small watercraft, but its limits may not be sufficient for larger or more valuable boats. A separate boat policy can provide broader physical damage, liability, equipment, and boating-specific protection.

Does boat insurance cover the trailer?

Coverage may be available for a trailer used to transport the insured boat, but it is important to verify how the trailer is protected while stored, attached to a vehicle, or being transported. Coverage varies by policy and carrier.

Does boat insurance cover theft or storm damage?

Many policies offer protection for theft and certain weather-related losses, subject to the policy’s terms, deductible, storage requirements, and exclusions. Review how the boat must be secured and whether any geographic or seasonal restrictions apply.

Does my boat insurance cover me everywhere?

Boat policies may include navigation limits defining where the watercraft can be operated and remain covered. If you plan to take your boat outside your usual Colorado waters or transport it to another state, review the policy with your agent beforehand.
