Compare Boat Insurance for Martinton & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and kayaks, we build policies for the Iroquois River, nearby lakes, and trips to the Kankakee River or Illinois River system.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential for varying water levels and weather. A modern boat policy bundles hull (your boat), liability (bodily injury & property damage you cause), medical payments, and options like on-water towing, fuel-spill liability, salvage & wreck removal, and fishing gear/personal effects. If you trailer, we’ll also address trailer coverage and where auto liability responds during over-the-road incidents.
Planning trips on the Iroquois or Kankakee Rivers? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local requirements.

Illinois Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Illinois waters must be registered with the Illinois DNR. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Illinois DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels, weather, and access points via USGS or Illinois DNR before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
