Benefits of Storing Your Boat and or Trailer at a Self Storage Facility

When deciding on where to store your boat and trailer over the winter or just your boats trailer over the summer while your boat is docked for the season, you have a couple different options to choose from. You can either pay an out of proportion rate at  the marina you boat is docked at or take the best alternative which is to rent an outdoor space for your boat and or trailer at your local storage facility at an honest and affordable rate. Mind you these outdoor spaces are not just for boats and trailers they can also be used for RV’s, cars, trucks, landscaping equipment and much more. Once you weigh the options out for storing in an outdoor spot I am confident you will end up renting with a local storage facility just like our self storage facility “Storage Station” located at 1867 Greenwood Lake Turnpike in West Milford, NJ or our other self storage facility “Storage Station” located at 11 White Road in West Milford, NJ. Now let us talk about some of the perks of an outdoor storage space.

The first perk and the most priority perk of having an outdoor space at a storage facility is the fact that you will be saving a ton of money on the storage space itself. Marinas charge a seasonal fee of about $600.00 to $900.00 during the closed boating season depending on your boat size. Now the closed season generally lasts for about 5 months which would make your monthly payment on at a marina a minimum of about $120.00 per month.

This is quite an expensive rate compared to the affordable rate of a self storage facility like one of our fine “Storage Station” locations which would SAVE you a bit over $50.00 a month compared to a marina. Now overall if you break down the total saved over the course of 5 months you save a bit more than $250.00 seasonally by choosing a self storage facility to rent at rather than a marina.

Another great perk of storing your boat and or trailer at a storage facility is the fact that your space is behind a closed gate which provides added security. The gate system is also only opened by a personalized gate code which enables you to feel comfortable that your boat is in a secure location. In addition to the security gate, the facilities are monitored with security cameras which are keeping track of activity 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This is way more security that most marinas have to offer and it is also at a much lower rate than a typical marina will charge you as well.

Now the final things I would like to make mention about is the fact that if you have nowhere to store your boats trailer over the summertime while your boat is docked, you can simply continue to store your trailer at the facility you are at. Now again instead of storing your trailer for the outrageous marina price, you still pay the same low rate you were paying over the winter and you have a place to store your trailer. Now another perk to storing at a self storage facility is that there is no binding stay period. You can stay as little as 1 month or as long as you would like. With a month to month lease you are not obligated to stay for an entire season if you don’t want to.

Now after knowing these perks to storing at a self storage facility it’s a no brainer to put your boat and trailer in a facility over the wintertime. Not only will you be saving a ton of money over the course of the season, you can be confident that your boat and trailer are in secure environment.. Now when you are ready to store your boat for the winter or to store your trailer for the summer, don’t forget to check out your local storage facility to get the best deal possible.
