Compare Boat Insurance for Pony & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Jefferson River, Madison River, and nearby lakes in Montana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways include rivers, lakes, and potential wildlife encounters. 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 Jefferson or Madison Rivers? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Montana waters must be registered with Montana FWP, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via Montana FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS Jefferson River stations), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites commonly 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.
Where Pony Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Jefferson River and head to the Madison River or nearby lakes. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local ramp or trailer to other Montana waters.
