Compare Boat Insurance for Forty Mile Colony & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and PWCs, we build policies for Montana rivers and lakes like the Yellowstone River, Fort Peck Lake, and trips to nearby reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's rivers and lakes feature currents, wildlife, and variable weather. 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 Yellowstone or to Fort Peck? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage options, weather preparedness, and any ramp or marina 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
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via FWP-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. Ramps and marinas commonly 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.
Where Forty Mile Colony Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Yellowstone River and head to Fort Peck Lake or local reservoirs. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and weather plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local ramp or trailer to nearby lakes.
