Compare Boat Insurance for Government Camp & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for Mount Hood lakes, the Sandy River, the Columbia River, and trips to nearby reservoirs.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature mountain lakes, rivers with currents, and potential for sudden weather changes. 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.
Headed to the Columbia River or around Mount Hood lakes? 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 Boater Education Card issued via Oregon State Marine Board–approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check water levels and conditions (e.g., NOAA for the Columbia 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 Government Camp Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
