Compare Boat Insurance for Swan Lake & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and pontoons to kayaks and PWCs, we build policies for Swan Lake, Flathead Lake, and trips through the surrounding Montana wilderness.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Montana's pristine lakes and rivers bring challenges like variable weather, wildlife, and remote areas. 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.
Exploring Flathead Lake or venturing into the Swan River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and access point 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
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Card issued via FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), weather, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps 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.
Where Swan Lake Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch from Swan Lake and head to Flathead Lake or explore nearby rivers. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local marina or trailer to other Montana waters.
