Compare Boat Insurance for Ismay & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to pontoons and jet skis, we build policies for the Yellowstone River, nearby reservoirs, and trips through Montana's scenic waterways.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and potential wildlife encounters. 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 down the Yellowstone or to nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, storm plans, and access site 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 Education
Operators of motorboats may need to complete a boating safety course approved by Montana FWP. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Yellowstone), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Sites may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public access sites, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Ismay Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
