Does Georgia law require boat insurance?

Quick answer: No. Georgia does not require liability insurance on a recreational boat. The actual requirements are registration with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for any motorized vessel on state waters, and, for anyone born on or after January 1, 1998, a DNR-approved boater education course (O.C.G.A. Section 52-7). Because there is no insurance mandate, uninsured boaters are common, which is why uninsured boater coverage matters.
