Why Choose Us?
San Diego Boat Storage is one of the only places in San Diego county where boaters can work on their own vessels in a DIY capacity, and will save you substantially over typical yard options.
Our intent is to provide an economical alternative to slip fees or shoreside boatyard costs when boat owners need to work on a vessel for an extended period. This is also a more marriage-friendly alternative to backyard storage for boat projects. Our fees will typically be 50% of local market slip fees, and even less compared to regular yard rates.
We are happy to build boat sheds and covers specific to your vessel if you need them, and have a selection of eight sheds that come available as the current occupants wrap up their projects and move their vessels out to the water.
Additional Services On-Site
In addition to the 25 ton travelift, forklifts, Genie lift with 10,000 lb capacity and 42’ reach, and other specialized tools available at the yard, we have numerous marine service providers on site that can assist with your project in the following areas:
- Marine carpentry, design and repair
- Outboard engine service
- Electrical systems and marine electronics
- Plumbing systems
- Marine canvas
- Bottom painting services
Shore power or standard 110v, 220v is available at your workspace, and hose bibs are located all around the yard (water is included). SD Boat Storage Discounts available at local chandleries.
Compare SD Boat Storage to other DIY boat yards in San Diego, and you’ll find substantial savings. Typical rate is $3+/foot/day at some of these other yards. That’s $120/day or more for a 40-footer! At SD Boat Storage, the same boat would be about $1000 for the MONTH.
