Compare Boat Insurance for St. Xavier & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats on the Bighorn River to lake outings on nearby reservoirs like Bighorn Lake, we build policies for local rivers, lakes, and recreational trips in Montana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and potential hazards like swift currents and weather changes. 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 Bighorn River or to nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any ramp or marina 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). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats/PWCs may need to complete a Montana-approved boating safety course. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check river flows, lake levels (e.g., via USGS), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Ramps and marinas often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
