Short-Term Boat Storage

From time-to-time there are good reasons why people who are non-members (and occasionally members) to wish to store their beach-cats or dinghies at the club for periods of time less than for the standard 12 months.

Storage at the club for these boats is based on availability and at the discression of the club.  Therefore, please contact the club before filling out the form attached below.

Storage is available both within the yard for larger boats and under the club-house for smaller dinghies.

Base rates for short-term storage are:

- Weekly: $50

- Monthly: $160
