Compare Boat Insurance for Divide & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Montana lakes, rivers like the Big Hole, and trips to nearby reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and potential for sudden weather changes. 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 Big Hole River or nearby reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on MT waters must be registered with Montana FWP, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate through MT-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may 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.
