Compare Boat Insurance for Wise River & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs on the Big Hole River to nearby lakes and rivers, we build policies for Wise River, the Beaverhead River, and trips to area reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and varying conditions with potential for currents and wildlife encounters. 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 the Big Hole or Beaverhead Rivers? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and access site requirements.

Montana Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Montana waters must be registered with Montana FWP, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via Montana FWP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river flows (e.g., USGS gauges for Big Hole River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
