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

Oregon Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on Oregon waters must be registered with the Oregon 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 Oregon State Marine Board-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and currents (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and pumpout access 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.
