Compare Boat Insurance for Athena & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to recreational vessels, we build policies for the Umatilla River, local lakes, and trips to the Columbia River or nearby reservoirs in Athena, Oregon 97813.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and potential currents. 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.
Heading to the Columbia River or local lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any access point requirements.

Oregon Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on OR waters must be registered with the OR State Marine Board, and boats over certain lengths may require titling. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boater Education Card issued via OR State Marine Board–approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. River launches or marinas commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch/marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
