Compare Boat Insurance for Lake Andes & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and small pontoons to canoes and PWCs, we build policies for Lake Andes, the Missouri River, and trips to nearby lakes and rivers in South Dakota.
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.

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. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of motorboats may need to complete a boating safety course approved by SD GFP. Carry your certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions via SD GFP resources, no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Local ramps may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public ramps, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance.” We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
