The minimum boat insurance required for a UK inland waterways licence, and for using most marinas, harbours, recognised mooring areas, lakes and reservoirs is third party insurance.
Third party insurance only provides cover for damage or injury to other water users, not your own boat.
Most boat owners want to cover damage to their own boat sometimes called 'comprehensive' or 'all risks' insurance which gives much wider protection.
Whilst boat insurance is not a legal requirement in the same way that motor insurance is, you should keep a valid certificate of boat insurance with you to demonstrate that you are insured.
