Compare Boat Insurance for Kenel & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and canoes to PWCs and river cruisers, we build policies for the Missouri River, Lake Oahe, and nearby reservoirs in South Dakota.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways like the Missouri River feature currents, varying water levels, and recreational traffic. 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.
Planning trips on Lake Oahe or along the Missouri? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage, storm preparations, and any local requirements.

South Dakota Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on SD waters must be registered with the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP). Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats or PWCs may need to complete a boating safety course approved by SD GFP. Carry your certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions (e.g., via USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you go. Storage facilities often 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.
