Winter Storage

Call us at (717) 252-1589 or visit the store to check for Winter Storage availability and to reserve a spot now or be place on a waitlist! You can email us at [email protected]

*All previous winter season storage customers have first priority over storage spots. Turnaround varies year-to-year, dependent of the overall length of your boat vs. the size of spot available. Waitlists are only valid per season and renew each year. We will begin taking names for winter storage on August 1st.

We also have Summer Storage options!

November 1st, 2024- April 1st, 2025

Outside storage: $350 boats / $400 campers
Inside storage: $33.00 per ft.

*Winter storage rates are based on the over all length of the boat/motor/trailer package. Buildings are NOT heated. Winterization NOT included.

Shrink Wrap Current Rates (2024):

• $20/per foot for boats having a beam less than 8ft
• $22/per foot for boats with an 8ft and over beam

*Price does not include mildew- stop bags or dehumidifiers.
Exceptions: boats with t-tops, pontoons with stationary hard tops will be billed as time and material.

PLEASE NOTE: 

• We have a 2 week grace period April 1-April 15th. We will assess storage fees after April 15 at the rate of $25/week until the unit is moved off the property. Keys must be brought to marina store before drop off. All keys not brought will be charged $50 for pulling. If you know you cannot move your unit by April 15, let us know BEFORE your unit goes into winter storage. This way we can strategically locate your unit so it does not cause us disruption when we must start setting the marina up for the summer season.

BEFORE we put your unit inside for the winter season, you must let us know if you need easy access or if you have any hint of removing your unit early from storage over the winter season. If you plan on having work done to your boat over the winter, again, let us know BEFORE we put your boat inside. Knowing your plans helps us locate your boat for easy access and minimal disturbance of other boats. 

The boat and all items like life jackets and throw cushions must be dry prior to putting the shrink wrap on. Additional costs may be incurred if we must take care of this. The shrink wrapping costs does not include spraying the boat down with a mildew blocker and hanging mildew stopper bags. We will hang the appropriate amount of mildew stopper bags and add this to the invoice. The shrink wrap is sufficiently vented to allow for air circulation and tented for proper support and rain and snow run off.

If your boat-trailer package width is over 8.5 ft. an additional charge will be assessed to accommodate the width. Please contact us to discuss this condition.

Boats being stored for the winter are measured as a total boat/motor and trailer unit length. For example: Mark has an 18' runabout with a 7ft. beam on a trailer. The overall length of the unit from the trailer coupler to the end of the outdrive is 21'. Inside storage will cost him $609.00 for the winter season. Outside storage for the winter season will cost Mark $350 (minimum rate). To shrink wrap his boat will cost $234.00 plus PA Sales Tax.
