Compare Boat Insurance for Scobey & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to canoes on the Milk River and Fort Peck Lake, we build policies for local rivers, reservoirs, and trips to nearby lakes in northeastern Montana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with varying water levels, wildlife, 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 Milk River or Fort Peck 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 Montana waters must be registered with 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 Montana FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Milk River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps often 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.
