Compare Boat Insurance for Lame Deer & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and canoes to small motorboats on the Yellowstone River or local reservoirs, we build policies for Lame Deer, the Tongue River, and trips to nearby lakes like Fort Peck or Bighorn Reservoir.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's rivers and lakes bring challenges like swift currents, wildlife, and variable weather. 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 a trip on the Yellowstone or to Fort Peck? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and access to public ramps.

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 may need a boating safety course approved by Montana FWP. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and access points before you launch. Public ramps often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
