Compare Boat Insurance for Orchard Homes & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels on the Clark Fork River and nearby lakes like Flathead Lake, we build policies for local waterways and trips to Montana's scenic areas.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and varying conditions like currents and wildlife. 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 the Clark Fork or Flathead Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and access point requirements.

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