Compare Boat Insurance for Stonefort & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and PWCs, we build policies for the Ohio River, local lakes, and trips through southern Illinois waterways.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways like the Ohio River feature currents, locks, and recreational traffic. 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 Ohio River or local lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Illinois Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs on Illinois waters must be registered with the Illinois DNR. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most operators need a Boating Safety Certificate from Illinois DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and currents (e.g., via NOAA), no-wake zones, and access points before you go.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
