Convenient St. Petersburg FL Marina Company Offers Wet And Dry Boat Slips For Your Boating Needs

By Kurt Lavecchia


A St. Petersburg FL marina offers boat owners the options of both dry and wet storage slips. A boat offers its owner much pleasure. It provides chances to visit coastal regions as well as islands that may not be otherwise accessible, as well as exciting snorkeling and fishing adventures.

A small boat can be stored much more easily than its large counterpart. It usually just needs a trailer for transport and a home storage facility. However, large vessels usually require a wet or a dry storage unit.

The wet storage option provides several benefits. These slips are easy to get out of and in to, and they allow the boats to be used on short notice. Often, marinas will provide their clients with access to electrical outlets so they may keep batteries charged.

Usually, a wet storage unit is uncovered. However, a covered slip may be an option for a small boat. An enclosed unit provides protection from inclement weather and harmful UV rays.

Dry storage facilities often resemble large garages. They provide excellent protection against the elements, and can keep the paint and exposed upholstery in good condition for many years. At some marinas, stacked storage options are available for smaller vessels.

A dry storage unit requires a vessel to be lifted from the water. This often involves a track system and powerful crane which allows the owners to move their vessels in and out of their storage slips.

The major disadvantage of a dry storage unit is the need for a vessel to be launched before each use. It must be lifted onto a track and maneuvered into the water. Sometimes a large-vessel launch has to be set-up a few days in advance.

In the St. Petersburg FL marina, an owner may move his or her vessel into dry storage when repairs are needed. In these situations, it is wise to check with the officials at the facility to make sure work may be done on-site. Some types of insurance restrictions prevent these types of activity.
