Worth a quick read.
Seven honest answers about pricing, written before you ask.
What’s included in the storage rate
The per-foot price covers the spot, the cribbing, the insurance, the mid-winter status photo, and 24/7 monitoring. October through May, no proration.
What’s not included
Wrap, pickup, winterization, and detailing are separate. You only pay for the ones you tick. Most cottagers add wrap and driveway pickup at minimum.
Paying early
Pay in full at booking and your winter storage is 25% off: $22.50 a foot instead of $30 on a 16 to 25 ft boat. The discount is on storage only. Shrink wrapping, winterization, pickup and return, and commissioning are always at the regular price. The discount is card only, because a card settles immediately; e-transfer and cash pay the regular rate. Anything added after the prepay is at full price. Every price on this page is before HST; 13% is added at checkout, and the calculator's season total already includes it.
Deposits & payment
No deposit is taken until your spot is confirmed. Standard pay schedule is 50% at pickup, 50% at spring return. Prepay is the third option.
Cancellations
Cancel before September 15 and your deposit is refunded in full. After September 15 deposits are non-refundable, but they are transferable: we hold the credit on file and it carries to next season. Add-on services are refunded if we have not performed them yet.
Damage policy
$5M coverage on the lot, $2M during transport. Any damage we cause we pay for. Pre-existing damage is photographed at pickup and shared with you.
Wrapping something that is not a boat
The rates on this page are for boats. Patio furniture, hot tubs, BBQs, sleds, lumber bundles, machinery and the rest are quoted per job, because they are not comparable units. Send a photo and a rough size and you get a fixed number back, usually within a day. See we shrink wrap anything.
