Now, let’s talk about boat storage units. There are three basic ways you can store your boat when it is not being used.

Do you need boat storage units?

The first way people store their boat during the off-season, or when work needs to be done to it, is in their yard. This is, by far, the most common way type of “boat storage” in the U.S.  The reason for this is obvious: it is less expensive, and with money being as tight as it is for the average American, this is a value option.

Do you need a storage unit you pay for? It’s a tricky question.  True, your yard is free, but it is also very vulnerable to vandals, to thieves, and to Mother Nature.  There is nothing safe and secure about parking your boat, and trailer, in your driveway.  Absolutely nothing!  You can have the biggest guard dog on the planet, and the best security system available, and a vandal can hit your boat from fifty feet away using a paintball gun.  And Mother Nature doesn’t give a hoot about your security system. A hailstorm will render your best security plan worthless in a matter of seconds.

So, do you need boat storage spaces?  You may not think you do but consider for a moment the cost of your investment.  A $50,000 boat is, to our way of thinking, a big investment, just as is a $50,000 car or a $50,000 RV.  Yes, they are insured, but anyone who has hassled with an insurance company over a claim knows how much of a pain that is.  Do you really want to risk it all to save a few more dollars?

Traditional boat storage units.

Traditional boat storage facilities, then, is the type you will find at marinas.  You can either pay for a berthing spot and keep your boat stored in the “protected” waters of the marina, or you can have it hauled out of the water and place in a marina storage locker.  Depending upon the marina you deal with, this can most definitely be a secure solution; it is also the most expensive solution.  And, regarding leaving your boat in the water for marina storage, we would suggest that is not terribly safe from the whims of Mother Nature.
