WELCOME!

Welcome to the Discover Boating® Minneapolis Boat Show® in partnership with Progressive Insurance®!

We’re excited to kick off the 52nd edition of the Upper Midwest’s premier boating event. It’s great to have you with us! If you love boats and the boating lifestyle, you’ve come to the right place to escape winter for a few hours, explore what’s new for 2025, and get inspired for summer and sunny days spent on the water.

What will you find at this year’s show? For starters—an incredible lineup of new boats. So, whether you’re looking for your first boat or your next boat, you’ll have plenty of options to shop and compare (plus take advantage of show deals and incentives). And even if you’re not planning to buy, it’s fun to see the latest innovations and cutting-edge designs.

You’ll also find a great selection of gear—accessories for all your favorite on-water activities and upgrades to enhance your time on the water. Not to mention items you didn’t know existed, or realize you needed. Thinking about repowering your boat? You’ll find every major engine manufacturer is represented on the show floor, so you can explore all your options.

Finally, to round out your day at the show, be sure to check out all the attractions, interactive exhibits, and boating resources. Head to Fred’s Shed How-To Center for daily seminars and DIY advice from the pros. Enjoy the antique and classic boats display and be sure to check out the winners of the Minneapolis Innovation Awards to see the latest innovations in boat and marine products. When you need a break, swing by the Furniture & Things | Plants & Things Lake Lounge to enjoy a drink, music and snacks. There really is something for everyone.

P R E S E N TE D BY

Peace of Mind NAVIGATING

THE IMPORTANCE OF BOAT INSURANCE Embarking on the open water is an exhilarating experience, filled with the promise of adventure and relaxation.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a weekend cruiser, safeguarding your vessel with proper insurance is not just a choice—it’s a necessity.

Explore the reasons why every boat owner should prioritize boat insurance for a worry-free voyage.

25

UNPREDICTABLE

Waters T

he open water can be unpredictable, with unexpected storms, collisions, or other potential accidents. Boat insurance can give you financial protection if there is damage to your vessel, providing coverage for repairs or replacement.

Damage AND INJURY

A

ccidents on the water can result in damage to other boats, docks, or even injuries to passengers. Boat insurance offers liability coverage, which can pay for damages or injuries you’re liable for while boating, up to specified limits, and lawsuit costs if you’re sued. This includes damage you cause to another watercraft or if someone on or near your boat is injured and you’re found to be legally responsible.

THEFT AND

Vandalism U

nfortunately, boat theft and vandalism are realities that boat owners face. Boat insurance has comprehensive and collision coverage that can protect you against events outside of your control, including theft and vandalism.

26

27

28

INCURRED MEDICAL

Payments A

ccidents on the water may lead to injuries for you or your passengers. Boat insurance offers a range of optional medical payments coverage limits, helping to cover medical expenses if you are in an accident or someone is hurt on your boat, regardless of fault.

PEACE OF MIND FOR

Financing

I

f you financed the purchase of your boat, most lenders require insurance coverage to protect their investment. Having boat insurance not only fulfills these requirements but also gives you peace of mind knowing that your financial interests are safeguarded.

29

NAVIGATIONAL

Flexibility

S

ome water municipalities and marinas may require proof of insurance for docking or accessing certain areas.

Boat insurance allows you the flexibility to explore different destinations without worrying about entry restrictions.

EMERGENCY TOWING AND

Assistance

P

rogressive boat insurance can include optional Sign & Glide® On-Water Towing coverage. If your boat is disabled or breaks down on the water, Sign & Glide® pays for on-water towing, jump starts, soft un-groundings, and fuel delivery.

WRECKAGE

Removal

I

f your boat sinks, Progressive boat insurance will cover the cost of removing your boat from the water (if removal is legally required).

I

nvesting in boat insurance is not just about protecting a valuable asset; it’s about safeguarding the memories, experiences, and joy that come with your on-water adventures. Don’t let unforeseen circumstances disrupt your journey—navigate with confidence, knowing that Progressive boat insurance has you covered. Ensure a smooth and worry-free voyage, because when it comes to your boat, peace of mind is the ultimate luxury.

WE DON'T JUST INSURE YOUR PASSION —

We Share It

I

n a nutshell, my role at Progressive is to acquire customers for our motorcycle, boat, and RV insurance and protection products. My colleagues and I feel that we have

a distinct advantage when designing our products, because as owners ourselves, we understand your unique needs and share your passion for these vehicles.

In my case, this has been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I'd ride on the back of my dad's Suzuki on Saturday mornings as we got out of the house and checked out local garage sales. Over the years, I graduated from a moped to my first grown-up bike: a beautiful blue Suzuki Katana.

After getting married and starting a family, my priorities changed, but I never lost my passion for motorcycles. I inherited a 2000 Harley FXDX after my father hung

up his helmet, and I'm beginning to create those weekend memories with my own children, who don helmets and long pants for a chance to take short, low-speed rides on the back of "dad's motorcycle."

My most recent source of adventure if a Polaris RZR side-by-side that I got last fall.

It's a four-seater, which means my wife and two kids can come along, and we take it trail riding in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I think of it as part market research for my day job and part family getaway. It's a great excuse

for my family to trade in our iPads, video games, and other distractions for lunch on the trails. We already have many years' worth of stories to laugh about around the dinner table. (Yes, Kevin, I'm talking about that "shortcut" you suggested.)

I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention watercraft and RVs, which, of course

Progressive also insures. After selling the Katana, we gave boating a try with a Sea

Ray cabin cruiser and a pair of WaveRunners. In fact, I can honestly say that I either own or have owned every major type of vehicle we insure at Progressive, with the exception of an RV, though we often go camping with my in-laws in their Forest River Mini Lite.

Needless to say, I insure all of my vehicles with Progressive. The reason is obvious;

I know Progressive is just as passionate about these vehicles as I am, so I know our polices are exactly what people like us need.

Being properly insured is important, not only for the vehicle, but to protect against liability and the unknown. I want to protect my family and our financial stability, as well as cover potential medical costs and vehicle repairs. My whole family enjoys

getting away from the day-to-day with these toys, and knowing we're insured when we go out gives us all the peace of mind we need to make those memories even more special.
