The Benefits of Indoor Boat Storage (and Why It Matters)

Your boat is more than just a purchase—it’s your ticket to freedom on the water, and it deserves to be protected. Whether you’re storing your vessel over winter or between weekend getaways, indoor storage is the best way to ensure it stays safe, clean, and ready to launch.

At Perdue Marine, our indoor storage facilities accommodate over 500 boats, pontoons, and PWCs each season. Here’s why indoor boat storage is a smart move for any boat owner.

Protect Your Investment from the Elements

Midwest winters are no joke. Ice, snow, and fluctuating temperatures can cause serious damage to boats left exposed outdoors. Indoor storage shields your boat from UV rays, moisture, and harsh temperature swings that can lead to cracking, corrosion, and fading.

Security and Peace of Mind

Our storage facility is fully fenced, well-lit, and closely monitored—giving you peace of mind that your boat is safe when not in use. There’s no worrying about weather damage, theft, or vandalism when your boat is parked indoors.

Reduced Maintenance and Cleaning

Boats stored indoors come out of hibernation looking cleaner and needing less prep work. No leaves, debris, mold, or critters to clean out. That means fewer delays in the spring and more time doing what you love—boating.

Convenient Pickup and Return Options

With Perdue Marine’s Plan Ahead program, scheduling your spring return or fall drop-off is simple. You can even request transportation from Lake Carroll Marina directly to our storage facility and back. We’ll have your boat ready when you are.

Flexible Seasonal Options

We offer both winter and summer inside storage options. Whether you’re done for the season or just need somewhere to keep your trailer during the week, we’ve got you covered.

Your boat deserves a safe place to rest. Let Perdue Marine protect your investment with secure, affordable, and convenient indoor storage. Contact us today to reserve your space before spots fill up!
