The average price to store a boat in Alpha is $51 per month.
Boat storage sizes depend on the boat type. For example, Class A boats (typically fishing dinghies) may fit in a 10 X 15 storage unit, while Class 2 boats should have at least a 20 X 40 storage space. Measure your boat's clearance if you're renting indoor or covered boat storage.
You can find places to store a boat near your home. Use the map, enter your zip code, or access the list view to find convenient boat storage options throughout your neighborhood.
Here are some popular amenities for boat storage:
Follow these tips to prepare your boat for long-term storage:
Put a vented cover on or wrap your boat, if you pick outdoor storage, which can often be found at your local boating retailer.
It's a good idea to winterize your boat, as Alpha temperatures can get below 35 during the winter. First, flush and drain the engine, and add lubricant to keep it from corroding. If you're keeping gas in the tank, add a fuel stabilizer. If not, drain the fuel lines. Replace the engine filters and check clamps, belts, hoses, and the oil. Drain the coolant and use antifreeze. Clean and wipe down the inside and outside of the boat to remove moisture. Last, prevent rodents from entering by plugging the exhaust outlets.
Avoid storing a boat outside in the winter. Alpha's high winter humidity can invite mold and mildew to develop in your boat. If you need to rent outdoor boat storage, use a vented boat cover. Indoor, climate-controlled boat storage provides the highest amount of protection from damp air.
We highly recommend having insurance. Usually, homeowner's or renter's insurance will cover any theft or damage while your boat is in storage, but check your policy to confirm.
