Your fishing gear costs more than most people realize. Electronics, rods, reels, tackle, a trolling motor, a live well — the equipment alone can represent thousands of dollars. And then there's the boat itself.

NBOA Marine Insurance offers fishing-specific coverage for everything from freshwater bass boats to offshore sportfishing vessels. We understand tournament fishing, guide operations, and the specialized equipment that separates a fishing boat from a recreational powerboat.
