Shrink Wrapping
When storing your boat outside, either with us or on your own property, it is advisable to shrink wrap your boat. The main reason to shrink wrap your boat, obviously, is to protect it. It’ll keep out rain, snow, ice and UV light. Unlike a tarp, a properly installed shrink wrap will not leak. Period. It won’t ice up and collapse, you don’t need to brush off the snow, and you won’t have to bail out puddled water. you can basically forget about it until spring. We provide this service* whether you are storing your boat with us or not!
*Please call for price*
NOTE: Before bringing in your boat for shrink wrapping and storage please remove all personal items from the boat i.e. wet towels, damp life jackets etc. No moisture should be present in the boat as this can cause mold to build up over the winter.

This process involves a thorough inspection and maintenance routine that can significantly impact your boating experience.
