Putting Your Boat & Personal Watercraft in Self Storage.

If your marine vessels are only used seasonally, you’ll want to keep them looking and running like the day they were purchased. Trailering is the most economic storage option – if your city allows it and you have the space in your backyard, driveway, or garage – but if you really want to keep your boat and personal watercrafts in top shape (and free up some space while you’re at it), you may want to consider the following storage solutions:

Tip: If storing your boat outside, consider shrink wrapping it to protect it from sun, rain, and snow damage.More ››

Rack Storage

Rack storage facilities offer long-term storage for shorter boats and small watercrafts. The boats are held on racks in a covered shed out of the water to avoid deterioration and marine life growth.

There are certain facilities that keep their racks outdoors, which allow them to discount their monthly fees. When storing your vessel on an outdoor rack, you should consider protecting it from the elements with a boat cover. If you’re looking for added protection, however, a facility that keeps its racks indoors may cost a little more, but it’s definitely the way to go.

Want to take your boat out of storage and into the water for the day? No problem! With a simple phone call in advance, a rack facility can easily accommodate your request. They’ll even return your boat to the shed after you’ve docked.

Marina Facilities

At a marina, your boat is kept docked in the water at a secure location. This allows for instant and easy access to your boat without having to notify the facility in advance – great for the spontaneous individual. Marinas are the ideal storage solution for larger boats – that may not fit at a rack facility – or for boats of any size that are used frequently. Many marinas also offer winter storage and service for your boat as well as additional amenities such as convenience stores, Internet access, and gasoline pumps.
