Compare Boat Insurance for Leonard & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the lakes around Leonard, such as Lake Itasca and nearby waters, including the headwaters of the Mississippi River and local fishing spots.
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, fishing gear/personal effects, and salvage. If you trailer, we’ll also address trailer coverage and where auto liability responds during over-the-road incidents.
Heading to Lake Itasca or along the Mississippi? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage, ice-out preparations, and any local launch 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 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 MN DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS stations), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
