Can I Store a Boat in a Self Storage Unit?

At Elite Self Storage, we make it our goal to help our customers in Sioux City, IA and the surrounding areas with all of their self storage needs. We don’t just help with the small stuff. We’re ready to help you find a secure storage spot for your vehicle as well. That includes boats! You may not have thought that a self storage facility was prepared for boats, but we Elite Self Storage specializes in storing a range of items, big or small. There are many different storage options for boats out there, so let’s take a look at some of the advantages to choosing a facility like ours for your vehicle storage needs.

Security

A self storage facility like ours can offer peace of mind thanks to advanced security technology. Our facility is monitored at all times. We record vehicle surveillance and only offer access to lockers or buildings with a special code. You can use your own lock on your storage unit. Our facilities are also well lit, so you feel safe on the way to and from your locker. Our business offers quite a bit more security than your home’s garage might.

Easy Access

You can access your items at our self storage facility at any time of day. This is great news for our customers who have boats. With some storage methods, you may not be able to get your boat out right away. At our facility, that’s never a problem. Drive up at any time of day and take your boat out with you. You don’t have to worry about other boats taking priority over yours and a delay that prevents you from getting back out on the water.

Pest Control

Our facility also offers pest control services to our customers. When you use our vehicle storage services, you’ll never have to worry about rats or other vermin damaging your boat while you’re away. We have professionals that come in and keep your vehicle safe from harm.

Climate Control

We also offer storage units with climate control. Fluctuating temperatures can damage items as varied as artwork and instruments, so a climate controlled facility can help ensure that you come back to items that are in good condition. Vehicles like boats can also be subject to damage from changing temperatures, which is why storage in your driveway or garage might not be ideal. Instead, opt for one of our secure units.

Flexibility

The great thing about our storage facility is that we’re flexible. We offer month-to-month leases, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck in a contract. Need your boat back? Just take it out and close out your lease on our storage unit. Once you decide to store your boat, there are just a few things you need to do beforehand. Cover your upholstery and seats with a cover to keep them in prime shape. It’s also wise to empty your water tank and run antifreeze through your system. We also suggest that you remove any electronics before you lock up your vehicle. Contact us at (712) 560-9463 if you have any more questions!
