Compare Boat Insurance for Sleeping Buffalo & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to PWCs and recreational vessels, we build policies for the Missouri River, Fort Peck Lake, and nearby waterways around Sleeping Buffalo.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and varying conditions like currents and weather. 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.

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 powerboats/PWCs may need to complete a boating safety course approved by Montana FWP. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS for the Missouri River), weather, and any restrictions before you go. Some areas may require proof of insurance for mooring.
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.
