One total, same boat, same dates
How to compare boat storage quotes
Three yards, three pricing systems. One quotes per foot with haul-out included, one per square foot plus extras, one per month. Turn each into a total for your boat and the season you need.
Four steps
Measure the boat
LOA including swim platform and pulpit, and beam. See how to measure.
Convert each rate
Per foot × LOA. Per square foot × LOA × beam. Per month × months stored. Apply the minimum charge.
Add what is not included
Haul-out, launch, wrap, blocking or stands, mast work, winterizing, power, tax.
Compare dates and rules
Storage season end date, launch queue, winter access, DIY rules, insurance required.
Example: 26 ft × 8.5 ft cruiser

| Yard C | $180/month × 7 months, trailer lot, own cover | $1,260 |
Illustrative numbers to show the arithmetic, not quotes from real yards.
Questions
Why do some marinas charge by square foot?
Because a wide boat takes more yard space. A pontoon and a sailboat of the same length can differ by 30% or more.
