Types of Boat Storage in Miami
Dry Stack Storage
Stacked rack storage in a covered building. Best for boats up to 40 feet. Your boat is fork-lifted in and out of the water. Most marinas in Miami offer this — it's the most popular option.
$300-$800/month
Enclosed Unit Storage
A 10x25 or 10x30 drive-up storage unit that fits a boat on a trailer. Protects from sun, rain, and salt air. Best for boats up to 25 feet on a trailer. Cheapest enclosed option.
$200-$470/month
Trailer / Outdoor Storage
Open-air parking for your boat on a trailer. Cheapest option but exposes your boat to Miami's sun and rain. Best for short-term or boats with good covers. Available at most storage facilities.
$100-$250/month
Marina Wet Slip Storage
Keep your boat in the water at a Miami marina. Most expensive but most convenient — no launching required. Best for frequent boaters who use their boat weekly.
$500-$1,500/month

Boat Storage FAQ
Miami boat storage ranges from $100/month for outdoor trailer parking to $1,500/month for a wet slip at a premium marina. Dry stack storage averages $300-$800/month. Enclosed storage units for boats on trailers cost $200-$470/month depending on size and neighborhood.
A boat up to 18 feet on a trailer fits in a 10x20 unit. Boats up to 22 feet need a 10x25. Boats up to 28 feet need a 10x30. Measure your boat on the trailer (including outboard motor and swim platform) before renting. Add 2-3 feet for maneuvering clearance.
Yes, but it's not recommended for long-term storage. Miami's UV index is extreme year-round — the sun degrades gel coat, upholstery, and electronics. If storing outdoors, use a high-quality marine cover ($200-$500) and remove electronics. Outdoor storage is fine for 1-3 months; beyond that, choose enclosed or dry stack.
For dry stack storage, Crandon Park Marina (Key Biscayne) and Dinner Key Marina (Coconut Grove) are the most popular. For enclosed unit storage, facilities in Doral, Kendall, and Hialeah offer the best prices. For wet slips, Miami Beach Marina and Haulover Marina have the best access to open water.
Yes. Most Miami storage facilities require proof of boat insurance. Your marine policy typically covers storage, but verify with your insurer. Dry stack and marina storage usually include some liability coverage. Enclosed self-storage requires your own policy — facility insurance ($10-$15/month) covers the unit, not your boat.
