Compare Boat Insurance for Sweet Home & Nearby Waters
From trailerable runabouts and fishing boats to small sailboats and PWCs, we build policies for the Santiam River, Willamette River, and weekend trips to nearby lakes like Foster Reservoir.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers, reservoirs, and potential for swift currents and recreational traffic. 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.
Planning trips on the Willamette or Santiam? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and any launch site 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 some 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 flows (e.g., USGS Santiam River 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 use a launch site, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
Where Sweet Home Boaters Go (and How We Insure It)
Many owners launch near the Santiam River and head to the Willamette or local reservoirs. We coordinate navigation limits, towing zones, and storm plans with your launch site—whether you keep the boat on the river, at nearby marinas, or trailer to other spots.
