Compare Boat Insurance for Helena & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats and recreational vessels, we build policies for the Missouri River, Hauser Lake, and trips to nearby reservoirs in Montana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying conditions like swift currents, cold water, and wildlife. A modern boat policy bundles hull (your boat), liability (bodily injury & property damage you cause), medical payments, and options like on-water towing, personal effects, and trailering coverage. If you trailer, we’ll address auto liability for road incidents and storage in varying weather.
Planning trips on the Missouri River or to Hauser Lake? We’ll set navigation limits for inland waters, discuss seasonal storage, winterization, and any local ramp requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Montana waters must be registered with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boater Education
Operators born after January 1, 1975, may need a Montana Boater Education Card from FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and any restrictions at public ramps before you go. Some areas require proof of insurance for mooring.
Tip: If your boat is financed or stored at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and proof of insurance. We’ll provide certificates as needed.
