FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I store a boat on land near Victoria?+

Several Saanich Peninsula facilities offer dry-land storage. These include Van Isle Marina, Westport Marina and Canoe Cove Marina. Pedder Bay Marina in Metchosin and Cowichan Bay Boatyard in the Cowichan Valley also offer it.

Do Victoria boatyards offer haul-out services?+

Yes. Van Isle Marina, Canoe Cove Marina and Cowichan Bay Boatyard all run Travelifts. Capacity and beam limits vary, so confirm your vessel dimensions with each yard.

What is the difference between wet-slip and dry storage?+

A wet slip keeps the boat in the water all year, giving quick access. Dry storage keeps the boat on stands or blocks in a yard. This cuts bottom growth and osmosis risk, but you need to schedule launching.

Do I need insurance for boat storage in BC?+

Most marinas and boatyards in British Columbia require proof of hull insurance and liability coverage before they store your boat.

Does this website book or manage boat storage directly?+

No. VictoriaBoatShow.com is an independent guide to boat-storage facilities. Owners handle reservations, deposits and eligibility directly with each facility.

How can a storage business be added or updated?+

Boat-storage owners and authorized reps can request additions, factual corrections and featured listings from the boat-storage advertising page.
