Dry stack storage is like valet parking for your boat. Instead of sitting on a trailer or in the water, your vessel is lifted, rinsed, and safely stored in a covered rack until you’re ready to go. When it’s time to head out, it’s launched for you — no towing, no ramp queues, no lengthy preparation. Save money, increase time on the water and keep your boat in better condition with one of six dry stack providers in South-East Queensland.

What’s the difference between dry storage and a wet berth? Dry storage keeps your boat safely out of the water when it’s not in use. Instead of being tied up in a berth, your boat is lifted, and stored on a specially
designed rack system. When you’re ready to head out, schedule your launch and marina staff will have your boat on water ready for you to use. This keeps
your boat hull out of the saltwater, protecting it from electrolysis, osmosis and fouling, reducing maintenance and cost, while keeping your boat looking its
best. Is my boat protected from the weather? Yes. Dry stack facilities keep your boat out of the water and shielded from the elements — including harsh sun, salt and storms. Some marinas offer open-air storage with partial protection, while others provide fully enclosed facilities for complete coverage. Take the quiz to find your perfect dry storage match. What size boats can be stored? Most facilities can accommodate boats from personal watercrafts up to 10 metres in length, with some catering for larger vessels. Take the quiz to find your perfect dry storage match, based on your vessel. What if I am new to boating, is there support at a marina to help us become confident boaters? That is one of the great benefits of a dry storage facility at a marina. There are licensing and training businesses to get you started with getting out on the water. Onsite marine trades to assist with boat maintenance and looking after your boat. Friendly staff to share some of the best local boating spots and a boating community to share stories and make new friends. How much does dry storage cost? Pricing depends on your boat’s size and the facility you choose. Dry stacking often saves time and money through reduced cleaning, vehicle/ trailer costs and the value in preventative maintenance at a dry storage facility.
