Why Boat Owners Choose Enclosed Storage
A boat stored outdoors takes sun, dust, wind, and temperature swings every day. Enclosed storage keeps the hull, upholstery, electronics, and rigging out of direct weather, and it adds a layer of security that an open lot cannot match. Weather damage to a boat's finish, upholstery, and electronics can be costly to repair.
Our units are concrete-and-steel construction with covered and enclosed interiors. Enclosed storage also makes it easier to keep a boat ready to launch, because you don't need to uncover and clean it every time you want to go out.
Boat Storage Through the Seasons
Your storage needs change with the calendar. In summer, you want quick access so you can get on the water with minimal prep. During the off season, you want to protect the boat from winter weather, theft, and vandalism. Our facility is set up for both needs, with drive-up access to your suite and a monitored property the rest of the year.
Summer: Quick Access
Drive-up access lets you hitch and pull out without moving other items. Wide aisles and diagonal parking make it easier to maneuver a trailer in and out, even during busy weekends.
Off Season: Protection
During the off season, the goal is to keep the boat sealed, secure, and ready to use next spring. Enclosed storage protects it from rain, hail, and debris, and our alarmed doors and 24-hour video surveillance reduce the risk of theft or vandalism.
Our Boat Storage Features
• Enclosed, covered spaces with 14-foot-high roll-up doors
• 16-foot interior height, which fits many trailered boats and their towers
• Onsite covered boat and RV wash station for rinsing after a trip
• Dump station for waste
• Air and water service on site
• Electric doors with keypads on some units
• Concrete drives with pads, for easy maneuvering
The on-site wash station is useful after saltwater or freshwater trips. Rinsing the boat before storage removes residue that can dry on the hull and trailer, and it helps you start each season in better shape.
Choosing the Right Unit for Your Boat
Measure the boat, trailer, and tow vehicle together, including the height of any tower, outriggers, or canopy. Then add a few feet for clearance. Our Private Enclosed units are 16x35 and 16x50 feet, which work well for most trailered boats, while Maxi-Storage units start at 10x20 feet for smaller boats and large equipment.
• Private Enclosed Units (16x50 and 16x35 feet): full enclosure and privacy for one boat and trailer
• Carport Units (14x45 and 14x35 feet): covered shelter from sun and rain, not enclosed
• Maxi-Storage (10x20 feet and up): flexible sizes for smaller boats and gear
If you're not sure which size fits, call us at
559-271-5300 before you visit. Bring the trailer's exact measurements if you have them.
Preparing Your Boat for Storage
A little preparation helps your boat come out in good shape. Start with a full wash and dry, then address the items that cause problems over a long off season. Stabilize the fuel, drain or treat the water systems, and remove perishable items such as food, cushions that hold moisture, and anything that could attract pests.
• Wash and dry the hull, deck, and trailer before storage
• Add fuel stabilizer and run the engine to circulate it
• Drain or winterize water systems, live wells, and head tanks as needed for your climate
• Remove batteries or put them on a maintainer
• Clear out food, drinks, and damp cushions
• Use a breathable cover, not plastic, to limit condensation
• Check tire pressure and trailer bearings
These steps are general guidance. Follow your engine and boat manufacturer's storage instructions, and have a marine technician handle any work on engines or electrical systems.
Security You Can Count On
Boat storage needs more than a fence. Our property is monitored 24 hours a day with video surveillance, individually alarmed doors, monitored access, and perimeter security lighting. Onsite professional management and fire sprinklers and smoke detectors add another layer of protection for your investment.
