Compare Boat Insurance for Solway & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and kayaks on Leech Lake, the Mississippi River, and nearby northern Minnesota lakes, we build policies tailored to your local boating needs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Northern Minnesota's lakes and rivers feature varying water levels, wildlife, and seasonal changes. A modern boat policy bundles hull (your boat), liability (bodily injury & property damage you cause), medical payments, and options like on-water towing, personal effects, and ice damage protection. If you trailer, we’ll also address trailer coverage and auto liability for road incidents.
Planning trips on Leech Lake or the Mississippi? We’ll set navigation limits for inland waters, discuss winter storage, and cover ice-out preparations.

Minnesota Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and watercraft on Minnesota waters must be registered with the Minnesota DNR. Keep registration aboard whenever underway.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorboats may need to complete a DNR-approved boating safety course and carry the certificate.
Local Planning
Check water levels, weather, and DNR regulations for lakes like Leech Lake before you go. Some areas require proof of insurance for mooring.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a public access, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates as needed.
