Marblehead Winter Boat Storage Season Starts In September

MARBLEHEAD, MA — Marblehead boat owners looking to store their boats for the winter can do so at the Parker's and Cliff Street boatyards beginning on Sept. 16.

Boats stored at either boatyard last season will receive preference to store their boats this season.

New applicants will be accepted beginning Aug. 1 on a first come first serve basis with Marblehead residents receiving preference.

Marblehead Trading Company will be collecting the storage fee for the town. The fee is based on a rate of $5 per square foot as determined by multiplying the overall length of the boat by its beam width.

This fee is for storage only.
