If you have a boat, then you know how important it is to find an appropriate Dakota storage facility for your boat while you are not using it. Finding the appropriate method of storing your precious investment can keep your boat looking nice and taken care of, even for long periods of time when you are unable to take it out on the water. There are several different types of boat storage, and unique benefits to each type, that you should consider and determine which is best for you and your boat.
Boat Slip
First, the advantages to storing your boat in a marina boat slip are considerable. Because of these many advantages, marina boat slips may have remarkably long waiting lists to acquire a slip space. One of these advantages is that you no longer have to haul or spend time launching your boat, because it is already ready to go whenever you need it.
Concierge Storage
One option, although likely a more expensive option than others available, is concierge storage. This type of storage is boat storage provided by a company. In addition to storing your boat, this company will also take out your boat and launch it on the water whenever you need it. They will remove your boat from storage and then store it again as you request. In addition, many times a concierge service will also clean and maintain your boat.
Dry Storage
Dry storage is similar to a vehicle covered parking lot where people can park and store boats. The advantage to this type of storage is that they often will have security personnel to keep the watercrafts safe from theft and vandalism. In addition, this type of storage is less expensive than many other types of boat storage available.
Private Docks
Another method of boat storage includes private dock storage. These work in much the same way as a vehicle garage does, and often will include lifts that keep your boat out of the water when you are not using it. These can be expensive however, and many private docks will provide a lift but not be covered, and vice versa.
Storage Units
Finally, storage units are an excellent method of boat storage. Storage units can be rented or purchased to store your boat and keep it safe from natural elements, and secure from theft or vandalism. These storage units or storage condos are usually located close to waterways and so that you have relatively easy access to the water when you need it. These are usually a relatively inexpensive option and provide enhanced protection for your boat. If you are looking for a Dakota storage facility for your boat, you should first consider the varied benefits of all the different types of storage available, along with their separate and unique benefits.
