Compare Boat Insurance for Van Dyne & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Lake Winnebago, the Fox River, and nearby inland lakes in Wisconsin.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature inland lakes, rivers, and varying weather 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 out on Lake Winnebago or along the Fox River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract requirements.

Wisconsin Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Wisconsin waters must be registered with the Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels/currents (e.g., NOAA Lake Winnebago stations), no-wake zones, and boat launch access before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Van Dyne Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
