A Storage Facility Run by People Who Know Boats
Most storage facilities store anything with wheels or a hull. We're different. Gene's Marine and Powersports is a full-service marine and powersports dealer. Boats and personal watercraft are our business, not a side operation. When your equipment is on our lot, it's being looked after by a team that understands what it needs.
That distinction matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong somewhere else
Indoor Boat Storage in Richland
Our indoor boat storage is the right call for owners who want their watercraft fully shielded from the elements between seasons. Michigan winters are not gentle. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice, heavy snow loads, and months of UV exposure in early spring can work on a boat in ways that aren't obvious until you go to launch and something isn't right.
Inside our facility, none of that is a factor. Your boat sits in a clean, monitored, enclosed bay from the day you drop it off to the day you pick it up.
Indoor boat storage is especially popular with customers who have newer boats, significant electronics packages, custom upholstery, or anything else they'd rather not gamble on a tarp and a prayer through a Michigan winter. If you've put real money into your boat, keeping it inside is the straightforward decision.
Outdoor Boat Storage for Every Budget
Not every boat needs to be inside, and not every customer wants to pay for it. Our outdoor boat storage gives you a secure, well-maintained lot with controlled access and year-round availability.
The outdoor area is fenced, monitored, and organized. Spaces are laid out so boats on trailers can get in and out without the kind of maneuvering that makes you nervous. If your boat is properly covered and you're storing it on a solid trailer, outdoor storage is a practical, cost-effective option that a lot of our long-term customers use season after season.
Outdoor boat storage fills up in the fall, so if you're planning ahead for the off-season, don't wait until October to call.
Jet Ski Storage Done Right
Personal watercraft have their own quirks when it comes to storage. Hull support matters. Positioning on the trailer or stand matters. And frankly, a lot of general storage facilities just don't think about any of that.
We do. Our jet ski storage options, both indoor and outdoor, are handled by staff who work with PWC on a regular basis. We know how to store them so they come out in the same condition they went in.
If you've been searching for jet ski storage near me and finding facilities that treat personal watercraft as an afterthought, that's not the experience you'll have here. Jet skis are part of what we do, not a favor we're doing you.
Why Richland Boaters Choose Gene's Marine and Powersports
Gull Lake is right up the road. Prairieville Township, Galesburg, Augusta, people from all over this part of Kalamazoo County use these waters, and a lot of them store with us. We understand the rhythm of a Michigan boating season and what it takes to get a watercraft properly put away for winter and ready to go again in spring.
Our facility is fully insured. Access is controlled and limited to customers and our staff. The property is maintained. You're not going to show up in May to find your boat sitting in standing water or your jet ski knocked over by the wind.
Boat and jet ski storage in Richland, MI should mean peace of mind for the whole off-season. That's what we try to deliver.
Seasonal and Year-Round Storage Plans
We offer both seasonal and year-round boat and jet ski storage to fit different situations. Seasonal storage runs through the off-season and is the most popular option for customers who want their equipment ready to go when the weather cooperates again. Year-round storage works well for people who don't have space at home or want the convenience of keeping everything in one place regardless of season.
Either way, the process is simple. Drop it off, we handle it, you pick it up when you're ready.
If you've been putting off the search because you expected boat storage near me to be complicated or expensive, it's worth a conversation. A lot of people are surprised at how straightforward it actually is.
