The Benefits of Dry Boat Storage

Owning a boat gives you freedom and fun on the water, but what do you do when you get back to shore? Your boat has to go somewhere, but it can be challenging to store a boat on your property and expensive to rent a dock. Renting dry boat storage offers many benefits that can help you free up space on your property and protect your boat through every season.

Here are just a few of the benefits of investing in dry storage for a boat. Find Storage

Protection From the Elements

Storing your boat outside can leave your valuable possession at the mercy of mother nature. UV rays and high heat can quickly age your boat, while rain and snow can cause rust and mold. Dry boat storage is an excellent way to protect your boat.

Many storage facilities offer indoor boat storage or covered boat storage. Either of these options can extend the life of your watercraft and give you even more amazing adventures out on the water.

More Garage Space

Many homeowners in California don’t have basements, which means their garages become their default storage space. Storing a boat in your garage takes up space that could be used for other purposes, like car storage, a workspace, or an exercise area. Using rental storage for boats allows you to put that garage space to better use.

Theft Prevention

Even in the safest neighborhoods, you may worry about leaving your boat in the driveway or somewhere else on your property where it may be easy pickings for a dedicated thief. Boat storage units can help protect your boat from criminals.

At Price Self Storage, our facilities require key code access, and we have plenty of security cameras running 24/7. Customers can also request storage units with individual alarms for an extra layer of protection.

Types of Boat Storage

If you're thinking about using dry boat storage to keep your watercraft safe, you'll need to decide on the type of storage you want. Most storage facilities offer several different options.

Indoor Boat Storage

Indoor boat storage offers some big benefits. It’s the most secure form of storage and will protect your boat from all the elements. However, indoor storage also comes with drawbacks: it's the most expensive storage option and requires a little more time and effort when storing your boat.

Indoor boat storage can be an excellent option for storing your boat in the off-season when you won’t need to move it regularly.

Outdoor Boat Storage

If you plan on taking your boat out regularly, you may want to choose outdoor boat storage, the least expensive option for your craft. You’ll save money and have a much easier time whisking your boat off for a weekend on the water. However, keep in mind that your boat will be open to the elements, so it’s a good idea to fully cover your boat to protect it from UV radiation, rainstorms, and more.

Covered Boat Storage

An excellent compromise between indoor and outdoor boat storage is covered storage. You’ll pay less for covered boat storage than indoor storage while also protecting your boat from the elements. If possible, choose a pull-through covered storage spot to make things easier.

One thing to note is that you don’t have to choose one option and stick with it forever. You may choose covered storage during boating season and then move your boat to an indoor boat storage unit during the colder months.

Boat Storage Tips

Ready to store your boat? Here are a few helpful tips to optimize your storage experience:

Clean your boat thoroughly before putting it into storage.

Perform all needed maintenance on your boat so it’ll be ready to go when you want to use it again.

Store your boat safely. Use jack stands, blocks, or a trailer to ensure your boat is fully supported.

If you are storing your boat outside, keep it covered to protect it from the elements.

Update the registration if needed. There’s nothing worse than taking your boat out in spring only to find that its registration has lapsed.
