Whether you simply want to fish at a nearby body of water or use it for longer vacations, a boat is a massive boon to your spare time. At the same time, owning a boat is also a massive responsibility. Given the cost of purchasing a reliable vessel, you need to make sure you treat it right and maintain it well. Of course, part of that equation is boat storage costs for when you&rsquo;re not using it.<\/p>\n<p>Storage solutions come with plenty of caveats. Chief among them, naturally, is the cost to store your ship. In this boat storage costs guide, we explore the various options you have and how much your finances will be impacted.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-store-your-boat\">How Much Does It Cost to Store Your Boat?<\/h2>\n<p>On average, you can expect to pay between $50 and $250 per month to store your boat. That relatively wide range largely comes down to a few central variables:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The location in which you want to store your boat<\/li>\n<li>The size of your boat and, as an extension, the size of the storage space you need<\/li>\n<li>The type of storage you prefer for your boat<\/li>\n<li>The service through which you rent your storage space<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s break each of these distinctions down into more details to determine the price of finding the right boat storage option for your needs.<\/p>\n<html><body><div id=\"in_post\">\n    <div class=\"control\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/search?can_store_vehicle=true&amp;min_length=16&amp;min_width=10&amp;overrideTitle=Boat%20Storage&amp;storing=Boat&amp;types%5B%5D=Carport&amp;types%5B%5D=Driveway&amp;types%5B%5D=Garage&amp;types%5B%5D=Parking%20Lot&amp;types%5B%5D=Unpaved%20Lot&amp;types%5B%5D=Street%20Parking&amp;types%5B%5D=Warehouse&amp;types%5B%5D=Other\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'first in post', version: '2.2'}, () =&gt; { console.log('track call'); });\">\r\n\t\t  <div class=\"first-in-post-cta\">\r\n\t\t    <header>\r\n\t\t      <h2 id=\"how-neighbor-is-changing-boat-storage\">How Neighbor is changing boat storage<\/h2>\r\n\t\t    <\/header>\r\n\t\t    <section>\r\n\t\t      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n\t\t        <div class=\"service-option-icon\">\r\n\t\t          <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\">\r\n\t\t            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M13.125 9.375C11.0539 9.375 9.375 11.0539 9.375 13.125V46.875C9.375 48.9461 11.0539 50.625 13.125 50.625H46.875C48.9461 50.625 50.625 48.9461 50.625 46.875V13.125C50.625 11.0539 48.9461 9.375 46.875 9.375H13.125ZM28.125 16.875C28.125 15.8395 28.9645 15 30 15C31.0355 15 31.875 15.8395 31.875 16.875V20.625H35.625C36.6605 20.625 37.5 21.4645 37.5 22.5C37.5 23.5355 36.6605 24.375 35.625 24.375H26.25C25.2145 24.375 24.375 25.2145 24.375 26.25C24.375 27.2855 25.2145 28.125 26.25 28.125H33.75C36.8566 28.125 39.375 30.6434 39.375 33.75C39.375 36.8566 36.8566 39.375 33.75 39.375H31.875V43.125C31.875 44.1605 31.0355 45 30 45C28.9645 45 28.125 44.1605 28.125 43.125V39.375H22.5C21.4645 39.375 20.625 38.5355 20.625 37.5C20.625 36.4645 21.4645 35.625 22.5 35.625H33.75C34.7855 35.625 35.625 34.7855 35.625 33.75C35.625 32.7145 34.7855 31.875 33.75 31.875H26.25C23.1434 31.875 20.625 29.3566 20.625 26.25C20.625 23.1434 23.1434 20.625 26.25 20.625H28.125V16.875Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n\t\t          <\/svg>\r\n\t\t        <\/div>\r\n\t\t        <h3 id=\"transparent-monthly-savings\">Transparent monthly savings<\/h3>\r\n\t\t        <p>Renters save 30-50% on boat storage, on average.

For example, if you live in a popular coastal area like Florida, you will likely find more options to store your boat. At the same time, some of the more desirable types of boat storage (like in-water storage directly at a popular marina) will likely also be more expensive due to the high number of vessels that need this type of service.<\/p>\n<p>In a landlocked location like Pennsylvania, on the other hand, highly specialized boat storage tends to be more expensive simply because less of it exists. But, because not as many people need to store boats in this region, the more general types of storage units are typically less expensive than they would be in coastal regions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-the-size-of-your-boat-impacts-the-price-of-boat-storage\">How the Size of Your Boat Impacts the Price of Boat Storage<\/h2>\n<p>The size of your boat primarily matters for storage costs because it impacts the type of spot, or lot, you need to consider. When storing your boat on land, these costs tend to be similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/rv-storage-cost-guide\/\">price of RV storage<\/a>, largely due to similar length requirements.

For a 20-foot boat, that could mean a $1,000 storage cost.<\/p>\n<p>Many marinas offer this option, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/quick-guide-to-boat-storage\/\">using so-called &ldquo;wet slips<\/a>.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s a convenient option because you can continue to use your boat all year long. Also, you don&rsquo;t need to figure out how to transport it to a different facility.<\/p>\n<p>However, in addition to its expense, this option can also be problematic when it comes to maintenance. Boats need to be out of the water at least once per year for maintenance and upkeep on the exterior, which in this case will require an extra cost to move the vessel to a facility for its annual check-up.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-cost-of-storing-your-boat-uncovered-outside\">The Cost of Storing Your Boat Uncovered Outside<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/dry-boat-storage\/\">Dry boat storage<\/a> comes in many different forms. Uncovered outdoor storage is the cheapest option for boats and costs between $50 and $100 for most lots. You won&rsquo;t find many uncovered outdoor storage spaces specifically designed for boats, so this is also the option with the most caveats.<\/p>\n<p>To start with, your boat will not be protected from the elements. As a result, using a cover or wrap is absolutely essential to avoid wearing down or damaging the interior. You also have to store it on a dedicated trailer to make hauling it from and to the lot easier.<\/p>\n<p>However, outdoor and uncovered storage might be your only option. This is an especially common scenario if you are in a landlocked area without much dedicated boat storage. But the low price means that you should be able to more easily afford the cover, trailer, and other secondary costs you will need to consider.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-cost-of-storing-your-boat-covered-outside\">The Cost of Storing Your Boat Covered Outside<\/h3>\n<p>A popular option for people not comfortable with no protection at all is covered boat storage. This option costs between $75 and $150 for most typical boat and lot sizes. The storage is still outdoors. But it has a layer of protection through a cover or roof that minimizes exposure to the sun and other elements.<\/p>\n<p>In your own home, a carport can easily replace or come close to this storage option. If you don&rsquo;t have that space available, covered self-storage is easily available through services like Neighbor. For many boat owners, this is a good middle ground between protection and a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-cost-of-storing-your-boat-indoors\">The Cost of Storing Your Boat Indoors<\/h3>\n<p>The final option to store your boat is at an indoor facility, which costs between $100 and $250 for most common sizes. As with the other storage types outlined above, you have a few different options if this is the route you want to go. These options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Indoor self-storage, which includes spaces like a garage or simple storage unit<\/li>\n<li>A larger warehouse, which is typically offered by marinas and other facilities close to the water<\/li>\n<li>Dry stacked storage, in which boats are stored in a warehouse on racks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While indoor storage tends to be on the higher end of the range of boat storage costs, it also is a preferred option for many boat owners. That&rsquo;s because it allows you to complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/boat-maintenance-guide\/\">annual maintenance tasks<\/a> without having to move the boat. At the same time, these options provide full protection against the elements the entire time your boat is in storage. Self-storage is more common in landlocked areas, while warehouse and dry stacked storage are popular close to bodies of water.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"saving-boat-storage-costs-by-renting-through-neighbor\">Saving Boat Storage Costs by Renting Through Neighbor<\/h2>\n<p>Almost every marina offers its own options or storage space partnerships, but they can quickly become expensive.
