Compare Boat Insurance for Pondera County & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and pontoons to canoes and PWCs, we build policies for local lakes like Lake Elwell, the Marias River, and trips to Glacier National Park.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's waterways feature changing water levels, wildlife, and remote areas. 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 to Lake Elwell or the Marias 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 Montana waters must be registered with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorboats born after January 1, 1975, need a Montana Boater Education Card issued via approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Marias River), weather, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps may 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.
