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
The most protective boat storage option available is indoor storage, offering complete protection from the elements. An indoor drive-up storage unit functions much like a personal garage, providing a dry, secure space for your boat. Depending on the size of the boat, our storage units can accommodate boat trailer storage, making it easy to back your boat into the unit while keeping it on a trailer.
Best For:
Harsh climates
Long-term storage
High-value boats
Covered Boat Storage
Providing a roof to shield your boat from the sun, rain, and other harsh elements, covered boat storage offers a middle ground between indoor and outdoor boat storage. It’s more affordable than indoor storage while providing better protection than standard outdoor parking, helping to prevent weather-related wear while keeping your boat easily accessible.
Best For:
Moderate climates
Seasonal storage
Mid-range boats
Outdoor Boat Storage
The most common boat storage option at a storage facility is outdoor boat storage, where you can park your boat and trailer in a designated outdoor parking space. This option provides the most space for larger boats, making it ideal for water vessels over eight feet tall that may not fit in indoor storage units. If you’re looking for cheap boat storage, outdoor parking is the most affordable choice!
Best For:
Mild climates
Short-term storage
Durable boats
Monthly Boat Storage Costs
At Extra Space Storage, the average cost of boat storage can range from $30 a month to more than $500 a month. Some factors can affect the cost of monthly boat storage including, facility location, size of the storage unit or parking space, type of boat storage (indoor, outdoor, or covered), and additional amenities.

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 | |
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boat Storage
Does boat storage have 24-hour access?
If you need frequent access to your boat while it's in storage, most Extra Space Storage facilities offer extended hours. Some even have 24-hour access available. 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.
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?
It is. You just need to make sure you take the proper steps to winterize and protect your boat while storing it over the winter or preparing it for long-term vehicle storage.
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.
