Keep Your Boat Safe This Winter With St. Petersburg Marinas

By Carla Bergoba


Trusting boats to St. Petersburg marinas can be highly beneficial. You can utilize these protective facilities the entire year. Winter is one of the most important times to keep your boat safe and secure, as it may not see a great deal of use.

Wintertime boat storage is very important if you want to keep a boat free from the corrosive effects of salt water. For instance, you might not plan to use a boat in the winter months. There is no need to leave it docked on the water, when you can have it stored on dry land.

Dry land storage is efficient and also very simple. Workers at your marina take care of the entire process for you. Boats are carefully removed from the water and placed into dry storage. During the process, a marina worker uses a special lift truck that places vessels into specifically designed storage racks. This is done safely without any damage to the hull.

Once vessels are safely stored on racks, they are free from water. Boats remain high and dry as long as you want. If at any time you decide you want to use the boat it is very easy to get it out of storage. Simply call the marina and notify them. They will see that the boat is ready to go when you get there.

Maybe you would like to save money on dry storage. You might consider the convenience of out-of-doors dry storage. However, if you want the most protection, you can elect to have your vessel stored indoors. This will keep harmful sun rays from causing damage.

You should not have to park your boat on a trailer all through the winter. St. Petersburg marinas provide full service storage and many conveniences. You will enjoy a great location with mechanics on duty and good restaurants nearby.
