Are there any size restrictions for storing a boat?

Convenient Space for Your Boat

Whether you own a small fishing boat or a larger motorboat with a ski tower, it’s natural to wonder: Are there any size restrictions for storing a boat? Our facility is designed to keep things as simple and stress-free as possible, which means accommodating a range of boat lengths and widths. In most cases, if your boat fits within our 12-foot-wide by 40-foot-long outdoor gravel stall, it can be stored here without hassle. This generous size leaves you room to maneuver, especially when loading or unloading gear and equipment for your next trip.

Because these outdoor stalls measure 12 feet across, you don’t have to worry about tight squeezes or damage to your hull when reversing your boat into its spot. The 40-foot length is also sufficient for many extended boat-and-trailer combinations. If you have an especially tall canopy, arch, or a dual-axle rig, you’ll still find the space straightforward to navigate. Our on-site layout includes wide drive lanes that allow you to line up your trailer properly, reducing the risk of scrapes or bumps. This extra breathing room helps even novice boaters feel confident behind the wheel.

While we aim to accommodate a variety of sizes, it’s always best to measure your boat plus its trailer to make sure it fits that 40-foot length. If you’re measuring from the tongue of your trailer to the furthest point on your boat’s stern, keep that total under 40 feet. This gives you some leeway for attachments like outboard motors or swim platforms. For those who have extremely large vessels, consider discussing your specific dimensions before booking, so we can confirm the most appropriate spot.

Aside from providing an affordable place to park your boat, we value peace of mind. The facility is fenced and offers secure access, helping keep your boat protected. If you’re looking to streamline your storage routine and free up space at home, storing here can be a practical solution—even for the off-season.

We’re here to help you get back on the water faster, without struggling to find a storage spot that fits your needs.
