The importance of boat insurance
Boat insurance can protect you from physical damage caused by accidents, but it also provides liability coverage in case you hurt someone or cause damage to another person’s property. Without it, a relatively minor accident could end up costing you tens of thousands.

Common questions
Boat insurance isn’t required by law in MN (as of Dec 2022). That being said, it’s always a good idea to discuss insurance options with a professional before deciding on coverage. Premiums are often quite affordable and the cost of an accident without insurance can be devastating.
