Navigating Rhode Island waters—whether along Narragansett Bay or inland lakes—comes with risks. Standard homeowners policies rarely cover boats, and auto policies don’t apply. Rhode Island Personal Boat Insurance offers essential protection, covering physical damage, liability, and more. At Segreve & Hall, we tailor policies to match your vessel, usage, and coastal or inland lifestyle—so you can enjoy the water with confidence.
Rhode Island Personal Boat Insurance That Keeps Your Adventures Afloat
Trusted by Businesses for 30+ years 
Comprehensive Protection on Water and Land
Coverage for your boat, trailer, equipment, and liability
Rhode Island boaters should consider coverage for:
- Damage to your vessel, engine, and trailer
- Theft, fire, vandalism, and wind-related loss
- Liability coverage for bodily injury or property damage
- Medical payments for yourself and passengers
- Fuel spill or wreck removal costs
This ensures you’re protected whether your boat is docked, in transport, or on the open water.
Compliance with Rhode Island Boating Regulations
Meet state registration and coverage requirements
Rhode Island law requires boaters to register vessels and carry insurance with minimum liability limits of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 in property damage liability when operating a motorized boat. You must show proof of insurance upon request by law enforcement while on the water. Segreve & Hall ensures your policy meets these legal requirements and any marina or lender mandate
Local Expertise for Ocean and Lake Boaters
Insurance that fits your boating habits and local needs
Whether you’re sailing off Newport, fishing Narragansett Bay, or exploring inland lakes, we help you choose coverage that matches your boating style. We consider:
- Type of vessel (powerboat, sailboat, PWC)
- Storage location (dock, dry stack, trailer)
- Frequency and location of use (coastal vs inland)
- Boating safety certification status
Many insurers offer discounts for Rhode Island DEM-approved safety course completion through programs overseen by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management

Segregated & Hall Insurance were so helpful, especially Michael Brandolini, in finding my family new home and auto insurance. We have two teen drivers and were quoted a crazy rate. Michael reviewed our policies and saved us an incredible amount of money per year! I am very happy with their service!
My experience working with Segreve & Hall has been great. I recently purchased a car and while at dealership the salesperson said that we just had to wait for my insurence company to respond to finish the deal as he faxed the paperwork and it may take awhile. Few minutes later he responded saying wow that was the fastest ever getting information back. Thanks to Paulo Botelho and his speedy service I was in and out of the dealership in no time and the salesperson was also impressed!!

The main reason I am giving 5 stars is because of Michael Brandolini’s amazing service. He is always very responsive, prompt and made sure I understood my policy in depth.

Thank you to the company & Michael
Michael Brandolini was incredibly helpful! We had some last-minute changes for both my rental property and my new home, and he handled everything quickly and seamlessly. Excellent service and truly a pleasure to work with. Will be continuing to use this team for my future needs. 10/10 would recommend.
We were with another Insurance Agency for 30 years plus and our agent retired (a friend). No complicated policies, Family of 5 for home and auto insurance. It grew more and more difficult to deal with them, and often had to ask 3-4 times for info or policy adjustments. A friend recommended Segreve and Hall and we are glad that they did!!. Along with saving us thousands of dollars for the same policies , the service is fantastic. Any inquiry I send over via email, I have the answer within hours. A phone call has everything addressed without waiting for a call back. For us, appreciation for a customer and respect for their time means lot.!
M. Brandolini was excellent to work with. He gave my family members and myself excellent quotes.
He took care of the transition from our old company to Segreve and Hall.
I would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions
Is boat insurance mandatory in Rhode Island?
Yes. For motorized vessels, Rhode Island law mandates liability insurance with minimum coverage of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 property damage. You must also carry proof of your policy while operating the vessel. Other types of watercraft or recreational vessels may be exempt depending on registration status.
Does homeowners insurance cover my boat in Rhode Island?
Typically not. Homeowners or renters policies usually offer limited coverage for smaller boats (e.g., under 26 feet or low value), and they don’t include liability protection. Dedicated boat insurance provides broader, more reliable protection tailored for watercraft.
Can I save on boat insurance premiums in Rhode Island?
Yes. You may qualify for discounts by:
- Completing an RI-approved boating safety course
- Handling proper maintenance and safety equipment
- Bundling boat insurance with home or auto policies
- Demonstrating low usage or off-season storage patterns
Our agents help identify savings opportunities based on your situation.
