BackBoat storage

Where to keep her

Four different products with four different economics. Southport to Cape Lookout, with who offers which and what to ask on the phone.

Dry stack

Forklift racks it under cover. Ring ahead and they splash it.

2found
Wet slip

In the water year-round. Walk down and go.

34found
Trailer yard

On its trailer in a fenced lot. The cheapest way to keep a boat.

1found
Indoor

Under a roof. Usually winter storage.

1found
Nobody on this coast publishes a rate.

0 of 41 storage offerings here have a price we could source. Every marina quotes by phone, and rather than print a plausible-looking number we have left it blank. A rate you can rely on is worth more than a rate that reads well.

There is more dry stack here than this page shows.

We list 2 because those are the operators who say so on their own website in their own words. Rack storage exists all over Wilmington and Wrightsville and simply is not written down anywhere public. This is the clearest place on the whole app where a local knows more than the record does — if you keep a boat on a rack here, say where and we will add it properly.

  • A private, member-owned marina — renting here is not the same as booking a slip.
  • The operator's own site contradicts itself on size: the home page says 192 slips and the About page says 200. We have not published either number.

Operator states it outright: "Fully Enclosed Dry Slip Storage for Boats up to 28'". Fully enclosed building, not an open rack.

Stored on land — type not statedCall for pricing

A boat storage area is mapped inside the marina's own polygon — OSM way/1177997695, amenity=boat_storage, the only one of 32 such polygons in this box that falls inside a marina. It says boats are kept here on land. It does not say racks, yard or building.

What to ask when you ring

10 inland yards that may take boats — unconfirmed

Self-storage businesses close enough to be useful. Nothing confirms they accept boats or trailers — each one needs a phone call. Listed because a lead is worth something and a fabricated listing is not.
