Summer Storage

Summer at Harborside Marina & Yacht Sales

Harborside Marina & Yacht Sales offers several summer storage options to suit your boating needs. Boats can be stored in the water at a slip or kept on a rack or cradle for quick launch—each option providing unique benefits.Keeping your boat in a slip is ideal for those who plan to be on the water several times a week. However, if you prefer to avoid bottom paint or simply want to keep your boat out of the water, our quick launch service may be the perfect solution. With quick launch, boats are stored on racks or in cradles and launched with just a one-hour phone call before your arrival. Upon your return, we’ll haul the boat, rinse it down, and securely place it back on the rack or cradle. Trailer storage is also available for the summer season. When winter arrives, you can keep your boat at Harborside Marina & Yacht Sales for winter storage. We provide shrink wrapping, winterization, and secure onsite storage, ensuring your boat is ready for spring launch.

Summer Contracts

Please take the time to complete the attached contract and return it with your deposit to secure your spot for the coming year. We did our best to hold prices as tight as possible even with the rising cost of materials and labor. As always, we have limited slip space and many times a waiting list. Our tenured clients get first preference, but we will need to hear from you by February 15th or we will assume you are giving up your spot.  In the past, I have let this deadline slide which I am no longer able to do.  In an effort to make it fair for all our customers, we need to hold to our deadlines. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
