The Oregon Marine Trade Association represents the very best in Portland boating. A collection of marine-related businesses and boat dealers, the membership of the Oregon Marine Trade Association has a single-minded goal…to make every local boater’s boating experience the best it can be.

The Oregon Marine Trade Association developed this site as a valuable boating resource. You’ll find just about everything you need to go boating in Oregon on this site from the Oregon State Marine Board’s, BoatOregon site, to the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation’s site that’s loaded with interesting nuggets of lore, news, and information to enhance your boating and fishing experience.

You’ll also find easy access to the area’s top dealers and marine businesses on this site. So whether you’re looking for a boat, motor, trailer, top, electronics, accessories or anything in between you’ll find it here and readily available.

Make sure you visit The Oregon Marine Trade Association’s, Portland Dealers Boat Show in March. The dates for 2006 are March 17th – 19th. This show is loaded with an outstanding collection of new boats from the area’s top dealers, and features a unique Used Boat Sale that shouldn’t be missed. In addition to the parade of boats are a variety of attractions including, a new Discover Boating resource area, Focus On Fishing Seminars with some of the area’s top fishing pro’s on hand. Check out the link to the boat show and see what makes the Portland Dealer’s Boat Show the last great boat show of the season!

The Oregon Marine Trade Association is also deeply committed to the local community. Each year the Association makes a donation to SOLV for their annual “Down By The River” clean-up. Thousands of volunteers come together to the benefit of local watersheds to rid the riverbanks of unsightly trash and debris.

Politically, the Association works closely with the Oregon State Marine Board to assist in making Oregon boating safer and better for its boaters. Recently, the Oregon Marine Trade Association has reached out to local state senators and representatives to share the wonder of Oregon boating in the hope of providing the best boating environment possible to the State’s boaters.

Oregon boating is alive and well and the Oregon Marine Trade Association is proud to be a part of that success. Check out the site and let us know what you think.

Boat safe, boat sober, and by all means…have fun boating in Oregon!
