Boat storage units offer great value.
Compared to boat storage at marinas, boat storage units in storage places like our own Mouser Self Storage offer a great value. Not only are they less expensive than marina storage, but they offer infinitely better security in a secure facility, and no marina can make that claim.
Prices vary from marina to marina, and from storage unit to storage unit, but the industry standard pricing shouts, loud and clear, that storage places are less expensive than marinas.
We mentioned security? Storage units not only boast a fenced perimeter with only one access point, the main gate, but also security monitoring, on-site management, and key cards specifically for each customer, and those four levels of security cannot be matched by an open-air marina. A marina will always have one glaring weak point, namely the water, where a determined thief or vandal can easily enter the marina property.
Leaving one to ask this question: if the most inexpensive marina has poor security, how great a value can its price be?
The one criteria you need to pay attention to.
Security aside, the other criteria you need to pay attention to is access. Not only how easy it is to actually drive to the storage facility, but how easy is it to drive to your storage unit within the facility, how easy is it to turn around to back up to the storage units, and is that facility available with 24/7 access?
This last point is important to boaters. Most fishermen like to be on the road before dawn so they can make that first cast as the sun is rising. If your boat is not accessible until business hours at the storage facility, well, that storage facility is simply not worth whatever they are charging.
What good is storage if you cannot access it?
This, then, is the question which needs to be asked and answered. A storage facility, or a marina, can have the best security known to man, and they can advertise the best monthly storage fee, but if you cannot access your boat, when you need it, that storage facility is worthless to you.
It’s that simple, really!
As an added bonus, look for storage units which have electricity, allowing you to work on your boat during the off-season.
Security, great amenities, and total access, the holy trinity of boat storage units.
