Compare Boat Insurance for Joliet & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats on the Yellowstone River to lake cruisers and PWCs, we build policies for local rivers, reservoirs, and lakes in Montana, including areas around Joliet and nearby waterways.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's rivers and lakes feature currents, wildlife, and varying conditions. 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 Yellowstone River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and 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 Education
Operators of motorboats may need to complete a boating safety course approved by Montana FWP. Carry your certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS Yellowstone River gauges), weather, and access points before you cast off. Storage facilities often 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.
