Compare Boat Insurance for Saum & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and canoes to small motorboats and PWCs, we build policies for Lake of the Woods, the surrounding rivers, and trips to nearby lakes in northern Minnesota.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature vast lakes, rivers, and seasonal ice, with risks like sudden storms and wildlife. 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 nearby rivers? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, ice-out preparations, 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 gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
