Compare Boat Insurance for Grand Forks & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs on the Red River to recreational vessels on area lakes like Lake Metigoshe or Devils Lake, we build policies for local rivers, reservoirs, and trips across North Dakota.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways like the Red River feature currents, varying water levels, and recreational traffic. 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 Devils Lake or along the Red River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any launch site requirements.

North Dakota Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on ND waters must be registered with the ND Game and Fish Department. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a boating safety certificate from an approved ND course. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Red River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
