Why Boat Insurance Matters Here

Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and varying 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.

South Dakota Boating Basics (What to Know)

Registration & Title

Most boats and PWCs operating on SD waters must be registered with the SD Department of Game, Fish and Parks (GFP). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.

Boating Safety Certificate

Many powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate through approved courses. Carry your card while operating.

Local Planning

Check water levels, weather, and access points before you cast off. Some areas may require proof of insurance.

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.

Where Hitchcock Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)

Many owners launch near local lakes or rivers and head to areas like Lake Oahe or the Missouri River. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local ramp or trailer to nearby waters.

Pro tip: Keep photos of your hull, HIN, and electronics, plus receipts for upgrades. It helps with agreed value and claims.
