Compare Boat Insurance for Cook & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and canoes to small motorboats and PWCs, we build policies for the lakes around Cook, including Lake Vermilion, the Boundary Waters, and trips to nearby rivers and reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local lakes and rivers feature changing water levels, wildlife, and seasonal ice, making coverage essential. 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 Vermilion or the Boundary Waters? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and access point 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 certain boats 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 (e.g., USGS for Lake Vermilion), weather, and access points before you cast off. Public accesses often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public accesses, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
