Safe harbor storage

Grahambda · Mar 17, 2023

Hi All.

Looking for safe harbor storage on the lower east coast for July..November. on the hard or wet slip. North Florida East coast ideally.

Any recommendations?

We’ve used SH Skull Creek Hilton Head for a 3 month contract of wet. Ended up there when couldn’t find berthing in FL. Near Savannah/Hilton Head airport and have needed to fly in/out. Hence the need to have a secure place to leave the boat. No SH service vendors but they allow outside techs. Unlike NEB they do not charge outside techs a fee for access. No travel lift. Would use thunderbolt if we had that need or a complex problem. Local divers are reasonable. Setting is very pretty. Below the freeze line so leaving has meant just closing a few through hulls and locking up.

Do you mean "Safe Harbor" the marina brand? Or safe harbor, the concept?

the concept for sure, not heard great things about the marina brand re price hikes.

What solution have you decided on? We're right behind you........new to us 34 Mainship that we have to get above hurricane zone from June through November. leaving it on the hard at River Forest for that long creates all kinds of problems if the correct and thorough preparation is not done.

Yeah, had me wondering there. I don't think those two words can be used in polite company around boaters any more.

If you'd meant it as the marina brand, I was going to say just store at any marine. "That" company will be around to buy it up soon enough.

Hi in end we went with river forest on the hard due to time constraints. Mixed about keeping her on the hard vs a wet slip, both have there pros and cons. Not sure about next season, will see how well they looked after her when we put her back in at the end of this year
