Compare Boat Insurance for Ransom & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to PWCs and recreational vessels, we build policies for Kansas lakes, rivers like the Smoky Hill River, and trips to reservoirs such as Kanopolis Lake.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Kansas waterways include rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions like currents and weather shifts. 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 Smoky Hill River or to Kanopolis Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage options, storm preparations, and any facility requirements.

Kansas Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Kansas waters must be registered with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats/PWCs may need a Boating Safety Certificate through KDWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Smoky Hill River), no-wake zones, and access points before you go. Facilities may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
