Compare Boat Insurance for Helena West Side & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to PWCs and recreational vessels, we build policies for the Missouri River, Hauser Lake, and nearby reservoirs around Helena West Side, including trips to Holter Lake or the Gates of the Mountains.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying currents, weather, 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.
Planning trips on the Missouri River or to Hauser Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any launch site requirements.

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