Boat storage rates in Providence are $140 per month, on average.
The ideal size of boat storage depends. Class 2 boats will need at least a 20 X 40 storage unit, while Class A boats (typically fishing dinghies) should be able to fit in a 10 X 15 storage unit. Remember to measure your boat's clearance if you're renting covered or indoor boat storage.
You can find places to store a boat all throughout Providence, from Ward 13 to Smith Hill to Fox Point. Access the list view, enter your zip code, or use the map to see convenient boat storage options throughout town.
Here are the amenities you'll find:
Any-time access: Want to retrieve your boat on your own time frame? Your neighbors understand. Rent a Providence boat storage unit on Neighbor that provides daily access.
Top-notch protection: Give your boat the safest storage unit possible by selecting a listing that offers protection like a padlock, 24-hour surveillance, security cameras, or an access code.
Read these tips for storing a boat long-term:
Make sure the maintenance tasks are up to date.
If you pick dry vs. wet storage, disconnect the battery. If you're storing in the water, the battery should be left on board and connected.
The engine should be flushed out and stored vertically, if possible.
Use fuel stabilizer.
Spray vinyl with a protective spray.
For long-term boat trailer storage, the wheels should be put on wood blocks to avoid tire damage.
If storing outside, use a vented boat wrap or boat cover, which you may find at Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's Boating Center, located at 1 Bass Pro Dr, Foxborough. For other boating-related products, you could also check REI, located at 22 Chapel View Blvd, Cranston.
It's a good idea to winterize your boat, as Providence winter temps can get below 35. First, flush and drain the engine, and protect it from corrosion by adding lubricant. Drain the fuel lines or, if keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. Replace the engine filters and check clamps, belts, hoses, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the exterior and interior of the boat to remove moisture. Last, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.
Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Providence's high humidity in the winter months can increase the chances of mold and mildew developing in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Rent indoor, climate-controlled boat storage to be fully protected from damp air.
Insurance is suggested for boat storage near Providence. Your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy most likely covers potential theft or damage while your boat is being stored.
