What you'll find
Chicago has 14 boat storage facilities in the directory, with 3 more nearby. Covered and indoor spots each show up 10 times, while outdoor appears 12 times. If you need trailer storage, 2 facilities list it, and 2 offer parking. Climate control is not listed at any facility, so plan for winterizing and covering your boat. The top-rated spots include Public Storage at 4.9 stars from 1,256 reviews and Mini Mall Storage at 4.9 from 1,112 reviews. StorageMart also scores 4.9. All 14 facilities offer 24/7 gate access, which is handy for early launches or late returns. Ratings stay high across the board, so you can weigh location and price as much as stars.
Covered vs. indoor vs. outdoor
Covered storage keeps sun and hail off your hull but leaves you open to blowing rain and temperature swings. Indoor storage adds walls and a roof, which helps with UV wear and keeps critters out. Outdoor storage is usually the cheapest and easiest to pull into, but your boat takes the full brunt of Chicago winters. With no climate-controlled listings here, you will want a good cover and a battery maintainer no matter which type you pick. Check gate hours and lighting at each facility. If you store outdoors, consider a raised trailer and a winter cover that vents moisture. Indoor spots can fill up fast, so call ahead.
Checking a facility
Ask about gate access hours even though all 14 list 24/7 access. Confirm that the gate code works for your boat and trailer size. Walk the lot to see lighting and cameras. Public Storage locations list gated, lit, and boat-friendly features. Mini Mall Storage and StorageMart add cameras and climate control for other uses, but not boat storage. Make sure your insurance covers the boat while it sits. Verify that the facility allows you to work on the boat, and ask about security deposits. Read recent reviews for reports of tight turns or flooding. A quick visit beats a phone call.
