Covered spots lead the list
Three of the four facilities here offer covered storage, which is the middle ground most boat owners land on. A roof keeps sun off the gelcoat and keeps rain and leaf debris out of the cockpit, and it still leaves you room to walk around the trailer. United Storage - Grantham Center runs a covered setup and holds a 4.8 from 24 reviews. Creekside RV Covered Storage and Dock & Lock Storage Solutions both carry a 5.0, though on small review counts. Ask each one how tall the opening is before you commit, since tower and T-top heights vary. If your boat sits for weeks at a time, a cover under the roof helps with dust and birds.
Indoor and open-air choices
Metts Climate Controlled Storage is the one indoor facility on the list and rates 4.7 across 44 reviews, the most feedback of any entry here. Climate control matters in eastern North Carolina, where summer humidity works on vinyl, wiring and anything left damp. If you trailer your boat and just need a pad, Dock & Lock also lists outdoor space. That is the simplest and usually cheapest way to park, but your hull takes the weather straight on. Plan on a good cover and a periodic wax. Dock & Lock also lists a wash on site and gated access, which is worth asking about when you call.
Access and timing
Only one of the four facilities advertises 24/7 gate access, so if you fish before dawn or come off the water after dark, confirm hours before you sign anything. The rest likely run posted gate times, and a locked gate at 9 pm is a bad surprise with a wet boat behind you. Ask about the ramp or launch nearest your slip, and check that your trailer and hitch fit the spot. Confirm your insurance covers the boat while it is stored off your property. Read the rental agreement for limits on working on your boat at the site.

Questions people ask
How many boat storage facilities are in New Bern?
The directory lists 4 in New Bern and 7 more nearby, for 11 within reach of town. Covered storage is the most common type at 3 facilities, with 1 indoor and 1 outdoor option. Average rating across the listings is 4.9 stars.
Which New Bern facility has the most reviews?
Metts Climate Controlled Storage has 44 reviews and a 4.7 rating, the largest review base of the four. It is also the only indoor, climate-controlled facility listed here. More reviews usually means a better read on how a place actually operates day to day.
Is covered boat storage worth it here?
With 3 covered facilities in town, it is the easy default. A roof blocks UV that fades gelcoat and cracks vinyl, and it keeps rain and debris out of the boat. You still get airflow, unlike a sealed indoor bay, and you can usually walk around the trailer.
What should I ask before signing?
Ask about gate hours, since only 1 facility lists 24/7 access. Confirm the height clearance for your boat and trailer, whether a wash is available, and what the agreement says about doing your own maintenance on site. Also check that your insurance covers storage off your property.
