Maybe it would help to clarify this a bit.

Are you expecting to have this "at the ready" while in the water or just stowed away while in the boat or vessel but have it out and availible once you have made camp?

Could it be stowed in something waterproof (with some chance that it might leak) or do you expect that it will be constantly exposed to the elements?

Also, salt water or fresh water?

I would be inclined to go with something like a stainless steel, big bore revolver - like a Taurus. A 6" barrel, 44 Mag might be good - you could carry shot shells if snakes might be expected as well. Sounds like there is some chance of it getting lost so price might be a factor.
