About outdoor dry dockage*

Outdoor boat storage is billed per season (Nov 1 - May1). Owner's may work on their own boats as desired but the use of outside contractors will require proof of insurance be sent to our office for your contractor. Owners are responsible for maintaining their work area and containing any waste from sanding, oil changing, etc. Used fluids must be removed from the property the day they are removed from the boat.

We will attempt to meet your hauling and launching requirements, however certain weather conditions may delay actual dates. Please use "week of" instead of particular day to schedule your needs. We are not responsible for continuity of electrical service - please do not rely on heaters as a winterization method.

2010 Outdoor Storage Rates

2011 Rates will be set by September.

Haul, Light Wash, Block and Relaunch in Spring (up to 49') : $16 per ft
Seasonal Dry Dockage (Nov 1 - May 1) : $24 per foot

Boats on Trailers

We offer reduced rates for storage of boats on trailers. We can offer this discount since we are not using jackstands for the storage. We can also store the boat on trailer during the boating season and you can launch next door at the public ramp when you need to use your boat. For more information, see the Satellite Storage section.

Long Term Dry Storage

We offer multi-season dry storage at a reduced rate if paid annually. We do not offer this option to wooden boats since several have been abandoned on the property.

*We are not resposible for checking the interior of your boat during storage or maintaining boat covers. Please make sure drains are open and water is not accumulating in your boat.   If you rely on bilge pumps to keep your bilge empty you need to charge your batteries on a regular basis. For long term storage we recommend installing a garboard drain plug.


Shrink Wrapped Storage

Shrink Wrapping

We contract out shrink wrapping boats to provide protection against the winter elements. Although not quite as good as indoor storage, it is a little cheaper and better than unprotected storage. It also helps protect the deck and cabin finish against harsh conditions and water intrusion from melting snow. We do not recommend the use of tarps for boat coverings.
