Compare Boat Insurance for Florence & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Big Stone Lake, the Big Sioux River, and nearby lakes in South Dakota, including trips around Lake Kampeska and the Coteau des Prairies region.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature lakes, 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.
Heading to Big Stone Lake or along the Big Sioux? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any local storage requirements.

South Dakota Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on South Dakota waters must be registered with the SD GFP, and some may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Certificate issued via SD GFP-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., via USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance for mooring.
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.
