TYPES OF STORAGE FOR BOATS
Our boat storage facilities may have one or more of these options available: indoor boat storage in drive-up storage units, covered boat parking, and outdoor boat storage. Each type has its advantages, including convenience level, weather protection, and affordability.
Indoor Boat Storage: : Maximum Security
Indoor boat storage offers complete protection from the elements. These indoor drive-up storage units function like a personal garage, providing a dry, secure space for your boat. Depending on a boat's size, our units can accommodate boat trailer storage, making it easy to back your boat into the unit while on a trailer.
Best For:
Harsh climates
Long-term storage
High-value boats
Covered Boat Storage: Balanced Protection
Covered boat storage has a roof to help shield your boat from sun, rain, and other harsh elements—helping to prevent weather-related wear while keeping your boat easily accessible. It’s more affordable than indoor storage and gives better protection than standard outdoor parking.
Best For:
Moderate climates
Seasonal storage
Mid-range boats
Outdoor Boat Storage: Most Affordable
If you’re looking for cheap boat storage, outdoor boat storage is the most common and affordable option at a facility. A designated outdoor parking space also provides the most room for larger boats, making it ideal for water vessels over eight feet tall that may not fit in indoor storage units.
Best For:
Mild climates
Short-term storage
Durable boats
Boat Storage Facilities vs. Marina Slips: While marina slips (wet storage) offer the most convenience for immediate water access, they are often the most expensive option. Dry storage at a dedicated facility provides better protection from the elements and is generally more cost-effective for long-term or off-season needs.
Local Boat & Trailer Storage Near You
Whether you need to store a boat and trailer together or just a boat trailer on its own, we offer dedicated outdoor parking spaces and indoor units sized to fit trailers of nearly any length.

Monthly Boat Storage Costs
The cost of boat storage ranges from $5 a month to an average of $122 per month, depending on your boat size, contract length, and the storage options you choose. Outdoor uncovered parking is the most affordable option, followed by covered parking, with indoor storage carrying the highest price point. Use the comparison below to find the right option for your boat and budget.
Type of Storage | Description | Average Price | Weather Protection | Sizes Available | Clearance |

Common Boat Storage Sizes
To determine the right vehicle storage size for your boat, measure the length, width, and height of the boat, along with the dimensions of the boat trailer. If you are planning to store on a boat trailer, factor in those dimensions to ensure a proper fit. Most indoor storage units have eight-foot ceilings, so taller boats may need outdoor or covered storage. Some boat storage facilities also offer options with higher ceilings.
Storage Unit / Parking Space Size | Boat Type | Boat Length |
|---|---|---|
Jet skis, small fishing boats, skiffs, personal watercraft (PWC), dinghies | Up to 14 feet | |
Small speed boats, bass boats, compact pontoons, aluminum fishing boats, small bowriders | 15 to 19 feet | |
20-Foot Parking Spaces | Ideal for single-axle boat trailers and smaller watercraft | 18 to 20 feet |
Medium-sized pontoons, center consoles, fishing boats, deck boats, walkarounds, cuddy cabins | 20 to 24 feet | |
Large pontoons, bay boats, wakeboard boats, large day sailers, cabin cruisers, sailboats (with mast removed) | 25 to 28 feet | |
10x40 | Large cabin cruisers, offshore fishing boats, houseboats, catamarans, sailboats (with mast removed), small yachts | 29 to 38 feet |

Preparing a Boat for Storage
Properly storing your boat is essential to keeping it in great condition, whether you're putting it in long-term storage or just seasonal storage for winter or summer. If you're setting up a boat for winter, taking the right precautions to winterize your boat can help prevent damage from freezing temperatures. Even in warmer climates, proper preparation can help protect your boat from moisture, pests, and sun exposure. Follow these steps to preserve your boat during the off-season.
Step 1: Choose Your Space
Choose your boat storage unit or parking space based on the size of your vehicle and your storage preferences.
Step 2: Drain Fluids
Drain all water from the boat, including the bilge, live wells, and ballast tanks.
Step 3: Clean and Wax
Wash, wax, and buff the boat's exterior to help prevent damage.
Step 4: Clean Interior
Clean the interior of the boat and remove perishable items, electronics, and valuables.
Step 5: Flush Plumbing Systems
Flush the plumbing systems (including freshwater and waste systems) and add antifreeze if necessary.
Step 6: Winterize your Boat
Winterize the motor by changing the oil, flushing with antifreeze (if needed), and fogging the engine.
Step 7: Add Stabilizer
Treat the fuel by adding a stabilizer and running the engine to circulate it.
Step 8: Remove Battery
Remove the boat's battery and propeller to prevent damage.
Step 9: Cover your Boat
If you'll be storing your boat outdoors, put a boat cover or slip on it for protection from the elements.

These hours will allow you to pick up and drop off your boat when it's convenient for you, meaning you won't have to worry about scheduling your trips around facility hours.
Can I access my boat trailer 24/7?
Many Extra Space Storage facilities offer 24/7 gate access for boat trailers, while others provide extended hours (typically 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.) so you can get on the water early in the morning. Check with your facility manager to confirm available access hours.
Can you store a boat in a storage unit?
Yes, you can store a boat in a storage unit. Smaller watercraft like jet skis typically fit in 10x15 or 10x20 drive-up units, while larger boats generally require a 10x30 unit or a 12x40 outdoor parking space.
Will my boat be safe at a storage facility?
The safety of your stored belongings is our priority at Extra Space Storage. Our facilities offer excellent security features, including electronic gate access and video surveillance. Select facilities may have on-site managers and individually alarmed units for an additional layer of security.
Is it okay to store a boat outside in the winter?
Yes, you can store a boat outside in the winter, but it’s important to take the right precautions. Proper winter boat storage, including winterization and protective coverings, helps safeguard your boat from harsh weather and ensures it’s ready for the next season.
Can I store my boat while it's on a trailer?
Yes, you can store a boat on a trailer. Just make sure to factor in the total length, width, and height—including the trailer—when selecting your storage space to ensure everything fits properly.
How do I keep mice out of a boat in storage?
To prevent mice from entering your boat, start by throughly cleaning it of any food, crumbs, or debris. Next, seal all possible entry points, such as vents, gaps, and small openings. Additionally, consider using mice deterrents—like traps or natural repellents—around the boat. It's also a good idea to periodically check on your boat while it's in storage to ensure no mice have gotten in. For additional protection, we recommend storing your boat in an indoor storage unit to prevent pests.
Can I store a wet or dirty boat?
Storing a boat in wet or dirty conditions is not recommended, since doing so can lead to mold, mildew, corrosion, and other forms of damage. To help preserve your boat's lifespan and keep it ready for the next season, always clean and dry your boat thoroughly before storing it.
Is insurance required for boat storage?
Yes, all customers renting boat storage are required to provide proof of insurance. This ensures your boat is covered in case of damage or other unforeseen circumstances while in storage.
How do I prevent mold in an enclosed boat storage unit?
To prevent mold from developing in an enclosed boat storage unit, make sure to clean and dry your boat thoroughly before storing it. You should also leave cabinets and hatches slightly ajar to promote airflow during enclosed storage.
