# Yacht storage

Above 30 ft the list of yards gets short: you need a travel lift with the right capacity, room to block a wide beam, and technicians for diesels, gensets and water systems. Send the specs and we find a yard that takes your boat, end to end.

## Send us the spec sheet

- LOA: feet, including platform
- Beam: feet
- Draft: feet, keel or drives
- Displacement: lb or tonnes, for the lift
- Air draft: if indoor storage is wanted
- Engines: diesel or gas, inboard, IPS, pods
- Genset / AC: for winterizing
- Mast: keep stepped or unstep

## What matters for a bigger boat

- Lift capacity: Travel lifts are rated in tons. A 40 ft cruiser can weigh 10 to 15 tons. Not every marina can lift it.
- Done-for-you package: Haul-out, pressure wash, block, winterize engines and genset, water and holding systems, wrap, then commission and launch in spring.
- Heated building: For interior finishes, electronics and winter work. Space for large boats is limited, so book early.
- Keelboats and masts: Mast unstepped and stored, or left up in yards that allow it. Cradles sized to the keel.

## Yacht storage questions

**Can a yacht stay in the water over winter?**

On the BC coast, routinely. In Ontario and Quebec a few marinas offer in-water winter storage with bubblers or de-icers to keep ice off the hull; most boats come out.

**Can I book everything in one go?**

Yes. Tick haul-out, winterizing, shrink-wrap and commissioning in the request, and the options we send cover the whole season.
