Boat insurance for Nashville boat owners
Boat insurance can cover your hull, motor and trailer, your liability on the water and medical bills after a covered accident. A homeowners policy usually covers little, if anything, once you’re on the lake.
Coverage
What can boat insurance cover?
These are the parts we’ll usually talk through with you.
-
Boating liability
Help if you injure someone or damage another boat or a dock.
-
Trailer
Your boat trailer may be covered on the boat policy. Ask how.
-
Medical payments
Help with medical bills for you and passengers after a covered accident.
-
Uninsured boaters
Help if another boater without enough coverage injures you.
-
Fishing and personal gear
Rods, tackle, electronics and other gear aboard, within limits.
Coverage on the water, in storage and on the trailer can vary by policy and by boat. Coverage is subject to policy terms, underwriting and availability. Limits, deductibles and premiums vary, and nothing on this page is a quote.
Options
Options worth asking about
A few choices can change how a policy fits you.
Discounts and coverages are subject to eligibility, may vary by state, and are not available on every policy.
- Marina or slip requirements
- Bundling with home or auto
- Agreed value or actual cash value
- Personal watercraft coverage
- Higher liability limits or an umbrella
Around Nashville
Boat owners around Nashville
The Cumberland River runs through Nashville, and Percy Priest and Old Hickory lakes sit on the east side of the county. Marinas and slips often ask for proof of coverage.
The May 2010 flood showed how quickly water can rise in parts of Nashville, which is a good reason to look at flood coverage separately. Our office is in Mt. Juliet, just east of Nashville on I-40. Plenty of Nashville customers never need to visit, since phone and email cover most of it, but the door is open.

Marinas may ask for proof
Many marinas and slip agreements ask for boat liability coverage. Bring us the paperwork and we’ll match it.

FAQ
Nashville Boat Insurance FAQs
Updated
Do you write boat insurance in Nashville?
Yes. We work with boat owners in Nashville and across Davidson County from our Mt. Juliet office. Most of it can be handled by phone or email. Coverage is subject to underwriting and availability.
Is there anything about Nashville that affects boat insurance?
The northern end of the Natchez Trace Parkway starts just southwest of Nashville and is a popular ride for motorcycles and campers. Marinas and slips often ask for proof of coverage.
What do Nashville boat owners often overlook?
Bring your marina or slip paperwork and your trailer details. I-40, I-24, I-65 and Briley Pkwy all run through Nashville, and traffic and parking are daily realities for drivers and riders.
How do Nashville boat owners usually reach you?
Most call 615-562-5100 or email dustin@rodgersinsagency.com. Condos and townhomes are common across Nashville, from downtown high-rises to smaller complexes in Antioch, Donelson and Bellevue.
What else do Nashville boat owners usually insure?
Yes. Many customers also ask us about home, auto and umbrella. Keeping things with one local agent can make reviews simpler.
Does my homeowners policy cover my boat?
Usually very little, if anything, especially for boats with bigger motors. A boat policy is built for time on the water.
Do I need a boating education card in Tennessee?
TWRA requires boating education for many operators, based on age. Check TWRA’s current rules for your situation.
Is my trailer covered?
Often the trailer can be covered on the boat policy. We’ll confirm it’s listed.
