Compare Boat Insurance for Potomac & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and rafts to small motorboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Clark Fork River, Bitterroot River, and trips to nearby lakes like Placid Lake or Seeley Lake.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature swift currents, rapids, 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, salvage, 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 down the Clark Fork or to nearby reservoirs? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal storage periods, river conditions, and launch site requirements.

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