Compare Boat Insurance for Ellis & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Salmon River, Henry's Fork, and nearby lakes like Henry's Lake, with options for river trips and storage in the area.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential hazards like currents and wildlife. A modern boat policy bundles hull (your boat), liability (bodily injury & property damage you cause), medical payments, and options like on-water towing, fuel-spill liability, salvage & wreck removal, and fishing gear/personal effects. If you trailer, we’ll also address trailer coverage and where auto liability responds during over-the-road incidents.
Planning trips on the Salmon River or to Henry's Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Idaho Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Idaho waters must be registered with Idaho Fish and Game, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Idaho-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions (e.g., USGS gauges for the Salmon River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Storage areas often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
