Compare Boat Insurance for Kamrar & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to PWCs on Iowa lakes and rivers, we build policies for the Iowa Great Lakes, Des Moines River, and local waterways in Hamilton County.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways include rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions. 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.
Heading to the Des Moines River or Iowa Great Lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Iowa Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on IA waters must be registered with the IA DNR, and boats over certain lengths must be titled. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via IA DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and conditions (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and pumpout access 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.
