Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and weather challenges like high winds or floods. 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 the Arkansas River or local reservoirs? 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 Kansas waters must be registered with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.

Boating Safety Education

Operators of powerboats or PWCs born after January 1, 1989, need a boating safety education certificate from KDWPT-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and lake rules before you cast off. Storage facilities commonly 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.

Where Tribune Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near local rivers or lakes and head to spots like the Arkansas River or reservoirs in western Kansas. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local lake or trailer to nearby ramps.

Pro tip: Keep photos of your hull, HIN, and electronics, plus receipts for upgrades. It helps with agreed value and claims.
