Storing more boats in tight marina footprints starts with smart space planning that combines modular rack systems with reliable hoist frames. You want solutions that elevate capacity, simplify seasonal transitions and match the quality Reese Marine & Manufacturing delivers. A well-designed marina storage plan helps you serve more boaters, protect valuable vessels and create a facility that runs smoothly during busy seasons.
Smarter Marina Storage Systems
Reese Marine’s marina storage solutions include open rack systems, fully enclosed rack systems, ground stands, three-sided rack systems and pontoon cradles. These dry boat storage racks allow you to stack boats vertically while maximizing airflow and protection. Fabricated with U.S.-made steel and finished locally with powder coating or galvanization, these systems withstand salt-laden air and humidity. With custom aluminum marina racks, you gain the advantage of strength combined with lighter weight for easier installation and long-term dependability.
Integrating Protective Cages & Hoist Frames
Security is just as vital as storage. Reese Marine offers protective cages in various configurations—modular designs, ice shields, wall-mounted options and HVAC cages—all standard with powder coating and customizable to your requirements. Our puck lock cages add tamper-resistant locking with concealed hasps for robust deterrence.
Pairing these cages with custom boat hoist frames creates a storage system that is secure and efficient. Reese Marine offers hoist frames rated up to 40,000 lbs with movable horizontal beams to fit varying boat widths and an upcoming 15,000 lb version with multiple lifting points. By combining hoist frames with protective cages, you reduce risks, protect valuable hardware and make seasonal transitions faster.
Benefits of Customizable Rack Systems
Every marina has unique challenges. Reese’s modular boat rack storage systems let you choose among open racks, three-sided or fully enclosed racks, ground stands, pontoon cradles and adjustable bunk boards or brackets—all custom-fabricated for your site. Whether you need repairs or want to boost capacity, the company handles retrofits, beam replacements and installations with turnkey service. Vertical boat storage allows operators to expand upward instead of outward, providing more capacity without the need for additional dock space. That efficiency can be a deciding factor for marinas in coastal markets where property space is limited.
Building for the Future of Marina Storage
Combining these storage and handling systems transforms operations. Dry stack boat storage systems—especially useful in areas like Florida—maximize boat storage capacity without expanding footprint. Heavy-duty boat racks resist corrosion while keeping boats off water and out of harm’s way. With hoist frames handling larger modern boats safely and protective cages guarding against vandalism, you simplify seasonal use and reduce downtime. Saltwater-resistant marina storage designs help marinas cut long-term maintenance costs while still protecting vessels in tough conditions.
Making the Right Choice
Start by assessing your marina’s layout, vessel types and peak seasons. Consider how modular rack systems, protective cages and custom hoist frames can work together to deliver secure, efficient dry boat storage. Reese Marine’s experience with design, engineering, fabrication and installation—backed by over 35 years of manufacturing for marina storage and protective cages—makes them a solid partner.
