Compare Boat Insurance for Platte Colony & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Missouri River, Lake Francis Case, and nearby lakes in South Dakota, including trips to the area's reservoirs and rivers.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature river currents, varying water levels, and recreational areas along the Missouri River. 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 the Missouri River or to Lake Francis Case? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any 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 South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate from South Dakota-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels, weather, and access points (e.g., via USGS gauges) before you cast off. Marinas or public ramps may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
