Compare Boat Insurance for Ponderosa Pines & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Montana lakes, rivers like the Clark Fork, and trips to area reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying currents, weather, and recreational traffic. 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 Clark Fork River or to Flathead Lake? 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 the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (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 MT FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river flows, weather, and access points (e.g., USGS for Clark Fork) before you cast off. Marinas or public ramps may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
