Quast Insurance Agency offers watercraft insurance from multiple carriers. Rest assured, we shop around for you. This gives you a choice in pricing and protection.
Boat insurance protects your watercraft and provides financial security if you cause an accident or damage while boating. It can cover:
- Damage to your boat: This includes physical damage from accidents, collisions, storms, fire, theft, and vandalism.
- Liability: This covers you if you cause injury or property damage to others while boating.
- Trailer coverage: Some policies may extend coverage to your boat trailer, protecting it against theft or damage.
- Additional coverages: You can often purchase additional protection, such as on-water towing, mechanical breakdown, and personal effects coverage.
While watercraft insurance is not mandatory in most states, it’s highly recommended. Lenders typically require it if you finance your boat, and marinas often need it for docking. Even if not legally required, insurance can safeguard your investment and protect you from significant financial losses in the event of an accident or incident.
Just so you know, our agency writes other types of insurance, too. Many of our customers have car and homeowners insurance with us, and we always recommend personal umbrella insurance to our clients.
Several factors influence craft insurance cost
- Location: Where you live and where you store your boat can impact your rates.
- Type of boat: The size, age, and type of boat will affect your premium.
- Boating experience: Your experience level and boating history can influence your rate.
- Claims history: Your past claims history, both on and off the water, can affect your premium.

- 3. How do I cancel my Quast Vessel Insurance policy?
You control your policy and can contact Quast customer service anytime. Depending on how much time is left on your policy, you may be charged a cancellation fee or receive a refund. You are always in full control of your policy.
- Do I need vessel insurance if my boat is only used occasionally?
Even if your boat is used infrequently, insurance is still a good way to protect against unexpected incidents, accidents, or theft. Some policies also offer flexible coverage options for seasonal or occasional boaters.
- Can I add other types of watercraft (like jet skis) to my vessel insurance policy?
Many boat insurance policies, including those from Quast, allow you to add personal watercraft like jet skis or wave runners. Ask about coverage options and premiums for these additional watercraft.
- Does Boat Insurance cover boat rentals?
Boat Insurance generally does not cover rental boats unless expressly stated in your policy. If you plan to rent a boat, you may need to buy separate insurance through the rental company or confirm that your existing policy covers rented boats.
- Can I get temporary or short-term boat insurance?
Quast Insurance sells annual boat policies in Minnesota. If needed, you can cancel the policy mid-term and receive a pro rata refund of any premium difference. Insurance pricing assumes winter in Minnesota. So, keep an annual policy just in case; then you can use it anytime, and it may offer storage protection.
- What happens if my boat is involved in a collision with another boat?
Suppose your boat is involved in a collision. In that case, your liability coverage may help cover repairs to the other party’s boat or any medical expenses incurred. If you’re at fault, your liability coverage will apply. Comprehensive or collision coverage would apply for damage to your boat, depending on your policy.
