Compare Boat Insurance for Bend & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Deschutes River, Cascade Lakes, and trips to nearby reservoirs like Wickiup or Crane Prairie.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, lakes, and high-desert 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.
Heading to the Deschutes or Cascade Lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and storage 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 must be titled. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via OR State Marine Board–approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river flows and lake levels (e.g., USGS Deschutes gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Marinas commonly require proof of insurance to dock.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you berth at a marina, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Bend Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch from the Deschutes River or nearby lakes and head to Cascade Lakes or reservoirs. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your storage—whether you keep the boat at a local marina or trailer to high-desert spots.
