What's available
You have two facilities to choose from in Merritt Island, with five more nearby if neither fits. Between them, the listings show one covered space, one indoor unit, and two outdoor spots. Both facilities handle boats, and one also takes vehicles. Public Storage, with 291 reviews and a 4.6 rating, is the larger operation and offers covered, indoor, and outdoor storage along with boat and vehicle parking. Mr Stor-It, also rated 4.6 from 73 reviews, sticks to outdoor storage and parking. That is a small pool, so call ahead to confirm a spot is open for your boat's length and beam.
Covered or out in the sun
Florida sun is hard on gelcoat, vinyl, and trailer tires. Covered storage keeps the worst of the UV off, and indoor storage adds protection from rain and debris. Only one covered spot and one indoor unit show up in these listings, so they may go fast. Outdoor spots are more plentiful here, and both facilities offer them. If you go outdoor, a quality cover and a good wax routine go a long way. Check that the lot drains well after summer storms, since standing water around the trailer is never a good sign.
Access and security
One facility advertises 24/7 gate access, which matters if you like early morning runs or come back after dark. The other may keep limited hours, so ask before you sign. Both are gated and one lists lighting, which helps when you are hitching up at night. Confirm the gate code policy and whether there is someone on site during the week. If you store outdoors, a tongue lock and a wheel boot are cheap insurance. Also check with your insurer about coverage at a storage facility, since policies vary.

How many boat storage facilities are in Merritt Island?
There are two listed in Merritt Island, with five more nearby. Together they offer one covered spot, one indoor unit, and two outdoor spots. Both facilities accept boats, and one also handles vehicles. Ratings average 4.6 across the pair, so quality is consistent, but availability is limited.
Which facility offers 24/7 gate access?
One of the two facilities advertises 24/7 gate access. Public Storage is the one listed with that feature. If after-hours access matters to you, confirm the policy when you call, since gate hours can change. Mr Stor-It does not list 24/7 access, so ask about its schedule.
Is covered or indoor storage available?
Yes, but in small numbers. The listings show one covered space and one indoor unit in Merritt Island. Public Storage offers both covered and indoor options. Outdoor spots are more common. Given the limited supply, reserve early if you want protection from sun and rain.
What should I check before signing a contract?
Ask about gate hours, security features like lighting and fencing, and whether the lot drains well. Confirm the space fits your boat and trailer. Check your insurance coverage at the facility. For outdoor storage, plan on a cover and sun protection. For indoor, ask whether battery maintainers are allowed.
