Compare Boat Insurance for Valier & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels, we build policies for Lake Elwell, the Marias River, and surrounding Montana waters, including trips to nearby reservoirs and rivers.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways in Montana feature reservoirs, rivers, and varying weather conditions. 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 Lake Elwell or the Marias River? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on MT waters must be registered with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of certain powerboats/PWCs may need a Boating Education Certificate through FWP-approved courses. Carry your certificate while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS for Marias River), weather, and any restrictions before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance for mooring.
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.
