Boat & Watercraft Insurance
Coverage on the water, on the trailer, and at the dock — three different exposures, one policy.
What Is Boat & Watercraft Insurance?
Boat insurance covers your watercraft, your liability to other boaters and skiers, and your gear — plus the parts people forget, like wreck removal, fuel-spill liability and damage that happens while trailering. Homeowners policies extend only very limited coverage to small craft, and generally none to anything with real horsepower.
Why Boat & Watercraft Insurance Matters
A collision on open water can involve serious injury and expensive property damage, and liability on the water works differently than on the road. Wreck removal and fuel-spill liability are legal obligations that can attach to you regardless of fault, and they are not cheap to satisfy out of pocket.
Who Needs Boat & Watercraft Insurance?
Owners of bass boats, pontoons, ski boats, personal watercraft and sailboats — including seasonal owners who store the boat most of the year.

Local Considerations
Beaver Lake puts serious open water within a short drive of Bentonville, Rogers and Bella Vista, and the state’s numbers show what that traffic produces: Arkansas recorded 56 recreational boating incidents and 9 recreational boating deaths in 2024. Liability limits are the coverage that answers that exposure. Storage is the local wrinkle — many boats here sit on a trailer at home most of the year, where the county’s 164 recorded hail events between 2015 and 2025 make covered storage and comprehensive coverage worth more than owners expect.
