Compare Boat Insurance for Ranchester & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to canoes and kayaks on the Tongue River and nearby reservoirs, we build policies for local rivers, lakes, and trips to places like Bighorn Lake or the Bighorn Mountains.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Wyoming's waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and mountain lakes with varying conditions like currents, wildlife, and weather changes. 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 Tongue River or to Bighorn Lake? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and discuss seasonal storage options, storm preparations, and any ramp or marina requirements.

Wyoming Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Wyoming waters must be registered with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Operators of powerboats and PWCs may need to complete a boating safety course approved by Wyoming Game and Fish. Carry your certification while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the Tongue River), weather, and any restrictions before you go. Ramps and marinas often require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a public ramp or marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
