Compare Boat Insurance for Richview & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels on the Kaskaskia River and nearby lakes, we build policies for inland waterways in Washington County and trips to larger Illinois rivers or lakes.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential weather changes. 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.
Exploring the Kaskaskia River or heading to Carlyle Lake? 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 and PWCs operating on Illinois waters must be registered with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via IDNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and access points before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
