Compare Boat Insurance for Hastings & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Missouri River, local lakes, and trips around Mills County.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways like the Missouri River feature currents, barge traffic, and varying water levels. 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 Missouri or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local requirements.

Iowa Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs on Iowa waters must be registered with the Iowa DNR. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats or PWCs born on or after January 1, 1996, need a Boating Safety Certificate from Iowa DNR-approved courses.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and river conditions before you go. Some areas may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates as needed.
