Compare Boat Insurance for Hilger & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and kayaks, we build policies for the Missouri River, Fort Peck Lake, and local reservoirs around Hilger, including trips to nearby lakes and rivers.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's 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 Fort Peck Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any ramp or storage 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.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorboats born after January 1, 1979, need a Montana Boating Education Certificate from FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps 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.
