Compare Boat Insurance for Hot Springs & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and kayaks to pontoons and PWCs, we build policies for Flathead Lake, the Clark Fork River, and nearby reservoirs in Montana, including trips around Sanders County.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's lakes and rivers feature varying water levels, wildlife, 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 Flathead Lake or the Clark Fork? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any local storage 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
Operators of powerboats/PWCs born after January 1, 1975, need a Boater Education Certificate from FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Clark Fork River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Marinas may require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
