Compare Boat Insurance for Big Timber & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small recreational crafts and PWCs, we build policies for the Yellowstone River, area lakes, and trips to nearby reservoirs in Montana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying currents, wildlife, 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.
Heading out on the Yellowstone or to nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, weather conditions, and access point requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Montana waters must be registered with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate through FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Yellowstone River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
