Compare Boat Insurance for Montpelier & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Salamonie River, Mississinewa Lake, and nearby inland waterways in Indiana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Indiana's inland waterways, including rivers and lakes, bring challenges like varying water levels, debris, and recreational traffic. 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 Salamonie River or to Mississinewa Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Indiana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Indiana waters must be registered with the Indiana DNR, and certain boats may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via Indiana DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for local rivers), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites 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.
