Boat Storage Options

You won’t always want to have your boat out at the ready for use. During inclement weather or if you’re not planning to use your boat for several weeks or months, you’ll want to put your boat into storage. There are a number of options available to you when it comes to boat storage; here are a few of the most common places to store your boat.

Under a Cover on Its Trailer

The most basic form of boat storage is, of course, to simply trailer your boat and cover it up, leaving it on your driveway or behind your house. However, this is the least secure means of storage, as it leaves your boat vulnerable to weather damage, theft, and vandalism. If you have a carport or high fence to store your boat under or behind, you’ll be in better shape.

Docked in a Slip At a Marina

Many lakes and rivers in Missouri have marina slips available for rental. If you’ve got a favorite waterway you wish to boat in, then keeping your boat on that waterway only makes sense. A marina may not have the highest level of security, but it will have some, and storage at a marina means you can easily use your boat again whenever you wish. You’ll still want to keep your boat snugly covered, of course.

Kept Indoors

An indoor storage facility, whether this is a dry storage bay near a marina, your garage, or a rented storage unit, is the safest and most secure form of boat storage. These places have locking doors and plenty of security so you can rest assured that your boat is not likely to be stolen or damaged.
