Compare Boat Insurance for Dewey & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Montana's rivers and lakes, including the Jefferson River near Dewey, and trips to nearby reservoirs like Clark Canyon.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's rivers and lakes feature varying water levels, 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 to the Jefferson River or nearby reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

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