Compare Boat Insurance for Canyon City & Nearby Waters
From fishing boats and kayaks to small motorboats, we build policies for the John Day River, local lakes, and trips to reservoirs in Eastern Oregon.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and varying water levels. 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 John Day River or nearby lakes? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

Oregon Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats operating on Oregon waters must be registered with the Oregon State Marine Board. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via Oregon State Marine Board–approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels (e.g., USGS gauges for the John Day River), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch sites commonly require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Canyon City Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
