Winter Boat Storage in Connecticut
Winter at Harborside Marina & Yacht Sales
Please take a moment to read this important message about the off-season and services
Cheers to a great boating season on the CT shoreline! Of course, there is still plenty of time to enjoy boating this fall, but do not forget to start thinking about the off-season. Many marinas are already full for the winter season. Instead, we will be maintaining our excellent programs and even adding some new enhancements for the off-season.
I strongly believe that our off-season programs are the best in the marketplace and urge anyone still not signed up to consider giving it a shot this year. The idea of completing all the maintenance needed off season and having a trouble-free boating season has been proven and this will be our 26th year of offering this turn-key program. Finally, if you provide us with your requested spring launch date by your Fall Haul-Out Date, we guarantee to meet your deadline.

Our off Season Storage Programs
Whether you choose A La Carte and pick the services you would like or take advantage of our turn-key maintenance programs, I am sure you will be 100% happy with our results. We will look after your boat as if it was our own and advise you of everything we find along the way. If you are done with your boat early, PLEASE do not wait because it only causes continued growth and more issues. Let us put it away now and keep your precious asset in the best shape possible. If you do plan on using into the fall season, get us your paperwork NOW so we can hold you a spot, put you on the schedule, and you can take advantage of any discounts. We do anticipate selling out again this year, especially with the huge influx of new boaters the last few years.
If you are considering selling your boat or trading up during the off-season, let us know ASAP. We can market your boat better than any other dealer around and there are some great advantages to listing in the fall. It does not matter what type of boat you have, we are your best option, please ask us why!
Thinking of trading in for a newer model? We offer FREE winter services on all trades in the fall. Save money and have a new boat waiting for you in the Spring. View our selection of New and Pre-owned Sea Hunt, Chris Craft, and our NEW Waterlodge Premium Houseboats here.
As always, thank you for your business and my phone and email are always on for you.
