Compare Boat Insurance for Unionville & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to PWCs, we build policies for Rathbun Lake, the Chariton River, and local trips in southern Iowa.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature lakes, rivers, and recreational areas 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 Rathbun Lake or along the Chariton River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and lake/marina contract 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 some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Education
Operators of boats with motors over 10 HP need a Boating Safety Certificate from Iowa DNR-approved courses. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels, weather, and lake rules (e.g., Iowa DNR resources) before you cast off. Marinas and lake facilities commonly require proof of insurance to 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.
