Boat Storage in Manhattan, KS
Manhattan boat owners have two storage facilities to choose from in town, and both run 24/7 gate access, which matters when the fish are biting at dawn or you get off the water after dark. One of the two is covered, one is open air. Ratings average 4.7 across the pair, so the bar is set reasonably high around here.

What's available in Manhattan
Two facilities serve boat storage in Manhattan. Maberry RFD Storage is the larger operation by review count, with 35 reviews and a 4.4 rating, and it offers both covered and outdoor spots along with gated entry, cameras and 24/7 access. 785 storage is the smaller one, a perfect 5.0 from 4 reviews, and it focuses on boat storage with cameras and round-the-clock gate access. That's a thin market, so expect to call ahead. Two facilities means fewer open spots, especially the covered ones, and you don't want to haul the boat across town only to find there's nothing left.
Covered or open air
Only one of the two facilities offers covered storage, so if you want a roof over the hull, your options narrow fast. Covered is worth it in Kansas, where sun bakes gelcoat and UV does slow damage to vinyl and covers. Hail is the other reason to want a roof. Outdoor storage is fine for a trailer boat you use often, but plan on a quality cover that sheds water and straps down tight. Either way, check the gate hours before you commit. Both facilities advertise 24/7 access, which is a real convenience if your launch schedule runs early or late.
Practical notes before you sign
Ask about battery maintenance if the boat sits for long stretches, and pull the battery or put it on a maintainer over winter. Winterizing matters here too, since hard freezes come most years. Confirm your trailer and boat insurance covers the boat both on the road and in storage. Manhattan sits near Tuttle Creek Lake and Milford Lake, so a lot of the demand comes from people who want a short drive to the ramp. Closer storage means more time on the water. Both facilities list cameras, which helps if you leave gear aboard. Take a walk through before you commit and see how the ground drains after rain.

Questions people ask
How many boat storage facilities are in Manhattan, KS?
There are 2 boat storage facilities in Manhattan, plus 4 more nearby if you widen the search. Both in-town facilities offer 24/7 gate access, and one of the two provides covered storage.
How many of the Manhattan facilities are covered?
Just 1 of the 2 facilities offers covered storage. The other is outdoor only. If a roof matters to you, call that one first, since covered spots are the harder ones to find around here.
Do I need a cover for outdoor boat storage in Kansas?
Yes, and a fitted one that sheds water. Kansas sun and hail both work on gelcoat, vinyl and canvas. A snug cover keeps rain, leaves and bird mess out and slows UV wear. Check the straps after storms and make sure water can't pool on top.
What should I ask before renting a boat storage spot?
Ask about gate hours, camera coverage and how the ground drains after heavy rain. Confirm whether your boat insurance applies while it sits there. If the boat will sit for weeks, ask about battery access so you can pull it or run a maintainer.
