Why Choose Dry Rack Storage?

It is a convenient and secure way to store your boat on land. Boats are lifted and placed on multi-level racks inside a covered or enclosed facility using a forklift system, keeping them protected from sun, rain, and water exposure. One of the biggest perks? You don’t even need to own a trailer. When you’re ready to hit the water, Copper Kettle staff will launch and retrieve your boat for you—no towing, no launching hassle, and no trailer required.
