Compare Boat Insurance for Choteau & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to PWCs on the Teton River and nearby lakes, we build policies for Choteau and the surrounding Montana waters, including trips to reservoirs and rivers in the Rocky Mountain region.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying currents, weather, 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 Teton River or to nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Montana waters must be registered with Montana FWP, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats/PWCs born after January 1, 1989, need a Montana Boater Education Card from approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river flows (e.g., USGS Teton River stations), weather, and access points before you cast off. Storage facilities 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.
Where Choteau Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
