Compare Boat Insurance for Dover & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Kansas River, Perry Lake, and weekend trips to nearby reservoirs and rivers.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways include rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with risks like fluctuating water levels, debris, 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.
Heading to Perry Lake or along the Kansas River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

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