Dry stack storage offers numerous benefits for boat owners, making it an attractive option for those looking to protect and maintain their vessels. Here are the main benefits of dry stack storage:
Elevated Storage: Boats stored in our dry stack facility are safely lifted off the ground and kept secure on elevated racks, reducing exposure to waterline damage, barnacles, and moisture buildup.
Reduced Weather Impact: While our racks are open-air and not enclosed, storing your boat above ground helps minimize direct contact with standing water, debris, and dockside wear caused by storms or tides.
Sunlight & Surface Care: Although not fully sheltered, dry stack storage offers less prolonged exposure than in-water storage—helping to reduce fading and oxidation from constant UV exposure.
Controlled Access: Our Dry stack facility has gated access, surveillance cameras, and security personnel, providing a higher level of security compared to storing a boat at a private dock or on a trailer.
Reduced Theft Risk: With controlled access and surveillance, the risk of theft or vandalism is significantly lower.
Reduced Marine Growth: Storing your boat out of the water prevents the growth of algae, barnacles, and other marine organisms on the hull, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and anti-fouling treatments.
Less Corrosion: Boats stored in dry stack facilities are less exposed to saltwater, which can cause corrosion to metal parts and components.
