Compare Boat Insurance for Libby & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs on Lake Koocanusa and the Kootenai River to weekend trips in northwest Montana, we build policies for local lakes, rivers, and recreational boating.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and recreational areas with 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.
Heading to Lake Koocanusa or the Kootenai River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on MT waters must be registered with MT FWP, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via MT FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS Kootenai River stations), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you store at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
