Compare Boat Insurance for Stevensville & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Bitterroot River, Flathead Lake, and trips to nearby reservoirs and mountain lakes in Montana.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and mountain reservoirs with varying currents, wildlife, 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.
Heading to Flathead Lake or along the Bitterroot? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any 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 Education Card
Most operators need a Boater Education Card issued via FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS Bitterroot River gauges), no-wake zones, and pumpout access before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
