BOAT STORAGE IN SAN DIEGO
Your options for a quality dry storage yard in San Diego are limited, and SD Boat Storage stands out for location, quality of facilities, knowledge and accessibility of staff, and tools machinery on site to make your storage experience easier.
Boats that are being actively worked on pay a little more to cover the additional space that is required around their vessel, as well as power, air and water supply and access to large tools, while storage-only boats enjoy better pricing.
Dry storage in open air on gravel surface. Jackstands as available. Power and water available throughout the yard. Covered storage sheds are available for additional cost.
SDBS offers an option for paint-only work for boats up to 30 feet. Minimum charge of $300 for one month, plus $150 to move boat from trailer to stands, and $150 to move boat back to trailer from stands. Note that this is paint-only. Sanding work requires vacuum and tenting as per state and local regulations.
Unfortunately we do not provide boat transport to our yard at this time. We do have a short list of companies we feel are competent in boat transport, and can assist you in that process if you choose.
To save space, or hassle, you might want to store your mast separate from the boat. Maybe you have an old rig you are looking to sell, or put up for a bit for a refit. We have a dedicated mast rack on one side of the yard that can take any spar you’ve got, at $7/foot/month.
