Why deliver your boat for the winter?
Winter storage prices can triple from one region to another. Delivering to a cheaper or better-equipped yard can pay for itself in the first winter — our estimator helps you compare.
Services
Turnkey boat winter storage
Delivery to the yard, haul-out, maintenance and storage: your boat spends the winter sheltered and comes back in top shape.
Winter is the ideal season to protect and service your boat. Boatway arranges winter storage end to end: we deliver the boat to a partner yard, then coordinate haul-out, preparation and storage.
Depending on your budget and boat, we offer storage ashore on a cradle, in an unheated shed or in a climate-controlled hall, in France, the Netherlands or Greece. In spring your boat is relaunched, checked and, if you wish, delivered back to its home port.
What’s included
- Delivery to and from the yard
- Craning or travel-lift, pressure-washing the hull
- Engine winterisation: oil change, coolant, filters
- Storage ashore, indoors or monitored afloat
- Antifouling, polishing and minor works on quote
- Spring relaunch and sea trial
Inland boats
For canal boats we also offer winter storage afloat in monitored inland harbours, with frost protection and regular visits.

“Delivery to the yard, haul-out, engine winterisation and antifouling: one contact and a photo report at every step. Highly recommended.”Frequently asked questions
When should I book winter storage?
Ideally in September: indoor spaces are limited and go fast.
Can my boat stay in the water?
Yes in some sheltered ports, with engine winterisation and check visits. Storage ashore is still recommended for hull maintenance.
Can you manage works during the winter?
Yes: we gather quotes from partner yards and supervise the works for you.
