Retrieving Your Boat from Storage
How to have your boat ready for you when you want it:
-
Beginning March 1st you can come to our website and complete our online "Launch Card" to request an appointment and indicate how you want to get your boat. Do you want to pick it up on its trailer, or from the Marina? Do you want it delivered to your dock? Or, delivered to your driveway? Remember we are closed Sundays.
-
Your boat WILL NOT BE READY ON THE MORNING of your Launch Date. It will ready by end of workday on your Launch Date. If you need your boat before 4pm, PLEASE choose the day prior. We make every effort to have your vessel ready when you want it, but to ensure it is ready for you (and your family or friends), schedule it PRIOR to the day you need it so it will ready in the morning.
-
Boats remain in storage without a Launch Card. This applies to everything we store. When we have a Launch Date, we review service for each boat to determine how best to the boat ready in time.
-
​After completing your Online Launch Card, you will receive an email from office staff confirming which date your boat is scheduled, and pertinent details for your Launch Day.
-
ON YOUR LAUNCH DAY, WE WILL CALL YOU at the phone number you provide on your Launch Card when your boat is ready for you to pickup, whether from the Boat Lot or Marina.
-
Your Launch will be delayed if we stored it without knowing about issues needing attention. So, if you believe you may not have told us it wasn't running well last summer, mention it on your Launch Card. We want to deal with issues prior to you picking it up, so, you may want to schedule a week prior to pickup. Your Launch Day is when we typically pull your boat out to De-Winterize and service your boat, then do a test drive.
-
Launch appointments are scheduled in the order we receive them. Appointments in May fill very quickly, particularly Friday, Saturday and Holidays.
-
If you requested extra extensive work on your boat, Please still submit a Launch Card giving us a date you want it completed. We will call you if we cannot meet that date. There is no need to ask when your work will be completed.
-
Waxing of boats is done in the winter when requested in the Fall on the Storage Agreement.
-
Customers with unpaid balances will not go on the schedule until bills are paid.​
