Cabin cruiser and yacht storage

Bigger boats narrow the list: the travel lift has to take the weight, the building door has to clear the arch, and systems need proper winterizing. Tell us the LOA, beam, weight and air draft.

Cruiser questions

Can my boat stay in the water over winter?

Some Lake Ontario and coastal marinas allow it with bubblers or de-icers and rules on minimum size. On the BC coast it is the norm. See yacht storage.

What travel lift capacity do I need?

Give us the dry weight plus fuel and water. Many yard lifts take 35 to 50 tons; larger boats need specific yards.
