Compare Boat Insurance for Brooks & Nearby Waters
From trailerable fishing boats and small pontoons to canoes and PWCs, we build policies for the Red Lake River, Lake of the Woods, and trips to nearby lakes in northwest Minnesota.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature calm lakes, rivers, and seasonal ice-out 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 to Lake of the Woods or along the Red Lake River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, ice-out preparations, and public access requirements.

Minnesota Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on MN waters must be registered with the MN DNR, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via MN DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions (e.g., USGS gauges for the Red Lake River), speed limits, and public access points before you cast off. Many lakes require proof of insurance for mooring.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public accesses, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
