Why Winter Boat Storage Matters in Seattle and Beyond
When boating season winds down in the Pacific Northwest, the question of where and how to store your boat becomes just as important as how you used it all summer. Whether you keep your boat on Lake Union, Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, or down at Lake Tapps, proper storage is key to protecting your investment and ensuring stress-free seasons for years to come.
Indoor, Climate-Controlled Storage
Not all storage is created equal. At Seattle Boat Company, our facilities are 100% climate controlled. That means your boat is protected from moisture, freezing temperatures, pests, and the kind of wear that comes from being left in an open bay. Our storage is also secure and safe, giving you peace of mind all winter long.
Convenient Transport and Handling
We make it easy. You don’t have to haul your boat or worry about trailers in the off-season. Our team handles transport and ensures your boat is placed safely into storage, saving you time and hassle.

Do I Still Need to Winterize Indoors?
Yes. Indoor, climate-controlled storage doesn’t replace the need for winterization—it complements it. Winterization is essential annual maintenance. Here’s why:
-
Longevity – A properly serviced boat will last longer and provide many more seasons of fun.
-
Resale Value – Service records add real value when it comes time to sell.
-
System Care – Batteries and fuel systems still need to be looked after.
-
Unexpected Risks – Even in climate-controlled facilities, acts of nature happen. Power outages or short temperature fluctuations can occur, so relying only on indoor storage leaves your boat vulnerable.
Think of winterization as preventive care, it’s about more than just freeze protection. It ensures a healthier life for your boat.
A Better Life for Your Boat
Combining professional winterization with secure, climate-controlled storage gives your boat the best possible off-season care. When spring arrives, you’ll be ready to get back on the water without surprises or delays.
