Boat & Watercraft Insurance in Bertram, TX

Bertram sits in the heart of Burnet County, surrounded by the Texas Hill Country and within easy reach of the Highland Lakes chain — one of the most scenic and popular recreational waterway systems in the state. Lake Buchanan and Inks Lake are both accessible within a short drive, offering Bertram residents access to some of the most beautiful and uncrowded boating in Central Texas. Silva and Sons Insurance Services helps Bertram boaters and watercraft owners find the right coverage to protect their investment on the water.

Lake Buchanan is the largest of the Highland Lakes, covering more than 23,000 acres along the Colorado River in Burnet and Llano counties. The lake is known for its excellent bass and striper fishing, scenic Hill Country shoreline, and relatively uncrowded conditions compared to the lower Highland Lakes. Inks Lake, just downstream from Buchanan, is a smaller constant-level lake popular for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Both lakes draw boaters and anglers from Bertram and the surrounding communities throughout the year. A dedicated boat insurance policy ensures you are covered for hull damage, liability, towing, and more — protection that a standard homeowners policy does not provide.

Boating on the Highland Lakes comes with unique risks. The rocky Hill Country shoreline and submerged obstacles in shallower coves can cause hull damage to vessels that stray from marked channels. Sudden afternoon thunderstorms are common during the spring and summer months, and high winds can develop quickly on larger lakes like Buchanan. Theft is also a concern for boats stored at remote lake houses or unattended boat ramps. Hull coverage protects against all of these perils, while liability coverage pays for bodily injury or property damage you cause to others on the water.
