Compare Boat Insurance for Maquoketa & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and kayaks, we build policies for the Maquoketa River, nearby lakes, and trips along the Mississippi River.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential for varying water levels and weather. 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 Mississippi or Maquoketa River? 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 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 river levels and weather via Iowa DNR resources before you go. Ramps may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
