Winter storage isn’t just about where your boat goes, it’s about how it’s treated once it’s there.

From power-washing the hull after haul-out to dedicated storage placement and protective covering, every step matters.

We treat your boat like it’s our own — because details make the difference.

Many cracked engine blocks start with:
“I think I winterized it.”

DIY mistakes often don’t show up until spring — when repairs are far more expensive than professional winterization would have been.

We’ve seen it. We fix it. Every year.

Don’t let uncertainty cost you thousands.

The reason many boats miss early spring launch dates?
Winter prep shortcuts.

Cracked systems. Corroded engines. Missed inspections.

When winterization and storage are done correctly, spring becomes simple — not stressful.

Store smart now. Launch on time later.

Most owners think the risk ends once their boat is out of the water.
It doesn’t.

Improper blocking, poor airflow, and inconsistent humidity cause long-term damage all winter.

With over 60 years of experience, our crew knows how to block, shore, and store boats correctly — from small vessels to large yachts.

Your boat doesn’t just sit here.
It’s monitored, secured, and cared for.

Where your boat sits all winter matters more than most owners realize.

Our marina sits just south of the Thomas O’Brien Locks, giving us controlled freshwater access, safer hauling, and less environmental stress on your vessel.

Combine that with over 300,000 sq. ft. of secure storage, and you get more than a parking spot — you get protection.

This is storage designed for Chicago winters.

Most winter damage doesn’t happen where you expect it.

Ice makers. Washdown pumps. Hot water tanks. AC units.
Any system with water left inside can burst when Chicago temps drop.

We’ve inspected boats that “were winterized” only to find cracked components owners didn’t even know held water.

If it touches water, it needs protection.

Let our experts winterize every system not just the engine.

“I stored my boat indoors, so I didn’t winterize.”
That sentence has cost Chicago boaters thousands in cracked engine blocks.

Even in heated storage, manufacturers like Volvo and Mercury still recommend winterizing to prevent internal corrosion. Why? Because winter damage isn’t just about freezing, it’s about rust forming inside your engine all season long.

We see it every year: boats that almost did everything right.

Don’t guess. Don’t assume. Let the pros handle it properly.

Did you know?

Engine fogging is one of the most important steps in winter boat care.

Fogging prevents corrosion, lubricates internal components, and protects your engine from Chicago’s harsh winter conditions, so when spring arrives, your boat starts strong and performs flawlessly.

Don’t risk costly engine damage. Let our experts handle full winterization and keep your yacht protected all season long.
