Storage Built for Boat Owners
We understand what boat owners need, from proximity to ramps to covered protection from the elements.
Every Vessel Size
From a tinny on a trailer to a 40-foot cruiser. Find yards that match the size and height of your boat.
Covered or Open
Choose between covered bays that protect from sun and weather, or open yards that suit boats on trailers.
Close to Water
Filter yards near boat ramps, marinas and waterways so you’re not hauling across town every weekend.
Secure & Verified
Fenced compounds, CCTV and locked access. Every host is ID verified so you know who has access to your boat.
Often Cheaper Than a Marina
Land-based storage is typically a fraction of marina berth fees. Compare rates and save without sacrificing security.
The Handover
Snap photos when you drop off and pick up. A simple record that protects both sides.
What Kind of Boat Are You Storing?
Whether it’s a runabout, a cruiser or a jet ski. There’s a yard ready for your vessel.
Runabouts & Tinnies
Small boats on trailers that fit in most yards. Great for covered carports, sheds or open hardstand.
Cruisers & Yachts
Larger vessels need more height clearance and length. Look for purpose-built boat storage or wide open yards.
Jet Skis & PWCs
Compact and easy to store. A single garage bay or small shed is often all you need for one or two jet skis.

Tips for Storing Your Boat
Flush the engine
Always flush the engine with fresh water before storage, especially after saltwater use. Salt corrosion is the silent killer of outboard motors.
Cover up
Even in a covered bay, a quality boat cover protects against dust, bird droppings and UV damage to seats and electronics.
Disconnect the battery
Remove or disconnect the battery for long-term storage to prevent drain. Store it somewhere cool and dry, and trickle charge before your next trip.
Check the trailer
Inspect trailer tyres, bearings and lights before storing. It’s much easier to sort problems now than on the way to the ramp.
