Getting the Right Boat and Watercraft Insurance in Vernal, Utah
Under Utah law, all motorboats and personal watercraft equipped with an engine that is 50 horsepower or more must carry owner or operator liability insurance. The minimum limited liability insurance required is an amount per bodily injury/death, property damage, or a combined amount per incident. Proof of insurance additionally must be carried on board whenever the boat is in operation.
