Compare Boat Insurance for Fort Yates & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Missouri River, Lake Oahe, and nearby reservoirs and rivers in North Dakota.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and varying water levels. 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 Lake Oahe or along the Missouri? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and ramp/storage requirements.

North Dakota Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on ND waters must be registered with the ND Game and Fish Department, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via ND-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USACE gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Public ramps and storage areas commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you store at a facility, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
