Compare Boat Insurance for Gardiner & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats on the Yellowstone River to PWCs exploring Yellowstone National Park, we build policies for local rivers, lakes, and trips near Gardiner, Montana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, wildlife, and varying conditions in Yellowstone country. 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 Yellowstone River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any park or 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 some 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 river levels (e.g., USGS Yellowstone River stations), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public launch sites, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
