Boat Storage Options
What you do with your boat when you’re not on the water is as important as what you do with your boat when you’re using it.
Does it really make a difference? It can, depending on where you go boating and how often. In any case. What you do with your boat when you’re NOT using it is as important as how you use it when you using it and your choice is important.
The four basic issues you need to consider are:
- How often do you use your boat?
- How easy will it be to get to your boat?
- How protected will it be when you’re not using it?
With these issues in mind, there are three basic options: Storage Units, Home Storage, Storage Facilities and Marinas. All have the benefits and drawbacks.
Storage Units: Commercial storage facilities offer indoor or outdoor storage units for those who can’t or don’t want keep the boat at home. It’s the option for apartment or condo dwellers. who can’t keep a boat at home.
Home Storage: Having your boat near and at hand is great for maintenance and upkeep but it takes up a lot of room, whether parked outside or in the garage. And there may be a minor marital issue whether the family car to the boat deserves the protection of the garage. And depending on where you live, it could mean a long drive on the trailer to get to the water.
Storage Units/ Dry-Stack Storage facilities and Marinas are essentially garages for boats, which offer security and protection at a price.
