Compare Boat Insurance for New Market & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs on local rivers and lakes to weekend trips in southwest Iowa, we build policies for the East Nishnabotna River, nearby reservoirs, and outings to larger waterways like the Missouri River.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways include rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions like 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 East Nishnabotna or Missouri River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any dock or ramp requirements.

Iowa Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Iowa waters must be registered with the Iowa DNR, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Iowa DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels, no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Marinas or ramps commonly require proof of insurance to launch or dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
