The benefits of dry storage at Rickenbacker Marina, from hurricane protection to convenience and long-term vessel care.
Why Dry Rack Storage is a Smart Choice for Miami Boaters.
When you live in Miami, owning a boat is more than a hobby — it’s a lifestyle. But where you store your boat matters just as much as how you use it. At Rickenbacker Marina, we’ve been serving Miami boaters for over 40 years, and if there’s one lesson the storms, salt, and sun have taught us, it’s this: dry rack storage isn’t just convenient — it’s smart.
Protecting Your Boat From the Elements
South Florida’s sunshine may look inviting, but it’s tough on fiberglass, paint, and electronics. A boat left in the water 365 days a year is constantly exposed to UV damage, algae growth, and corrosion. Dry rack storage keeps your boat elevated and protected, cutting down on maintenance costs and extending the life of your investment.
Hurricane Season Peace of Mind
Every boater in Miami knows the stress of hurricane season. When the forecast cone points toward Biscayne Bay, time is critical. Dry rack storage offers a higher level of protection from storm surge, reducing the risk of your vessel breaking loose or suffering damage. At Rickenbacker Marina, our forklifts handle vessels up to 40,000 lbs, and our experienced crew secures racks quickly when storms threaten.
Convenience Without The Hassle
Think of dry rack storage as valet parking for your boat. A quick call ahead, and our team has your vessel in the water and ready to go. When you return, you hand us the lines, and we do the rest. No scraping barnacles, no fighting for trailer space, no hassle. It’s boating made simple.
More Than Just Storage
Our dry rack customers don’t just get a place to keep their boats — they enjoy full access to marina services: fueling, maintenance, a ship store with bait and drinks, and dining options like Gramps Getaway. It’s the convenience of a one-stop marina paired with the confidence of secure storage.
