When the driveway is not an option
Parking for a boat on its trailer
City bylaws, condo rules, an HOA or simply no room: lots of trailer boats need somewhere to live. Tell us the length on the trailer and where you launch, and we look for a lot near your home or the ramp.

Options for a trailer boat
Outdoor lot
Gravel or paved, fenced, with gated access. Priced monthly or by season, sometimes by length on the trailer.
Covered parking
A roof without walls. Keeps snow and sun off at a lower price than a full building.
Indoor unit or building
A drive-up storage unit or shared building. Measure height on the trailer first.
Marina lot by the ramp
Leave the trailer (or boat and trailer) at the marina for the summer and launch on the spot.
Why owners move the boat off the driveway
Many Canadian cities limit how long a boat or trailer can sit in a front yard or driveway, and many condos and townhouse corporations ban them outright. Rules differ by city and by season.
A lot near the launch also saves towing through the city every weekend.

Trailer parking questions
Can I get my boat out whenever I want?
Depends on the lot. Some have keypad gates open from early morning to late evening; others need an appointment. Ask about access hours before you sign.
Do lots check the trailer?
Many ask for plates and proof of ownership, and some require a hitch lock. Tires and bearings are your responsibility.
Can I store a PWC on a trailer?
Yes, and double PWC trailers usually count as one space. See PWC storage.
