Harbour-side marinas set their own launch and haul-out dates each year. - Launch April to May; haul-out October. ## What storage looks like here Port Credit combines a large public marina, a public launch and Ontario's largest in-water boat show in one small harbour, so owners here often weigh a seasonal slip against trailer storage for a smaller boat. Harbours here are small and sit close to dense neighbourhoods, so storage is a mix of seasonal slips, outdoor yard storage on stands or cradles, and trailer storage for smaller boats launched at public ramps. Demand is driven by the size of the Toronto market next door and by limited waterfront land. ## Mississauga and Oakville Waterfront storage prices - [Outdoor winter storage](https://boatparking.ca/storage/outdoor-boat-storage/): from $45/ft per winter - [Indoor winter storage (cold)](https://boatparking.ca/storage/indoor-boat-storage/): from $75/ft per winter - [Shrink-wrap](https://boatparking.ca/services/boat-shrink-wrapping/): from $18/ft - [Haul-out or launch](https://boatparking.ca/services/haul-out-and-launch/): from $14/ft each way - [Seasonal slip](https://boatparking.ca/storage/boat-slips/): from $85/ft per season Starting prices in CAD before tax, from published marina and port rates and market estimates, October 2026.
