Compare Boat Insurance for Kesley & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and kayaks, we build policies for the Iowa River, nearby lakes, and trips across northern Iowa.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Iowa's rivers and lakes present unique challenges like varying water levels, currents, 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 Iowa River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and local boating rules.

Iowa Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Iowa waters must be registered with the Iowa DNR. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorboats born 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 access points before you cast off.
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.
