Compare Boat Insurance for Eugene & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats on the Willamette River to small sailboats and PWCs on local lakes, we build policies for the Eugene area, including the McKenzie River, Fern Ridge Reservoir, and trips to the Oregon coast.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and potential trips to the coast with varying currents and 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 McKenzie River or down to the coast? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and marina contract 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 Boating Safety Certificate issued via Oregon State Marine Board-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels and conditions (e.g., USGS gauges for the Willamette River), 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.
Where Eugene Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Willamette River and head to local reservoirs or the coast. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your marina—whether you keep the boat on Fern Ridge Reservoir, along the McKenzie River, or trailer to coastal ramps.
