Security Public Storage
Family-owned Redwood City storage near Caltrain with alarmed units, 24/7 cameras and welcoming staff.
Redwood City sits between the bay and the hills, and that means a lot of boat owners squeezing trailers into driveways that were never built for them. There are 3 boat storage facilities in town, plus 2 more nearby, averaging 4.5 stars. Covered, indoor and outdoor spots are all on the board. Here is how the options shake out.

Three facilities in Redwood City handle boats, and each one covers a different need. Security Public Storage carries the strongest rating at 4.9 from 200 reviews and has gated access with cameras. Public Storage, at 4.5 from 248 reviews, offers covered, indoor and outdoor spaces, so you can pick based on how much weather protection you want. Bair Island Mini Storage is the smaller option at 4.2 from 28 reviews, with cameras on site. Two more facilities sit just outside town if none of these fit your boat's length or your schedule. Call ahead with your trailer's total length and height. A spot that fits a 19-foot runabout will not take a 24-footer with a folding tongue.
One facility here offers covered storage, one offers indoor, and one offers outdoor. That spread matters in a place with this much sun. UV does slow damage to gelcoat, vinyl seats and trailer tires over the years, so covered or indoor space earns its keep if the boat sits for months at a time. Outdoor is fine for a boat you launch most weekends, especially if you invest in a good fitting cover. Indoor suits classic hulls, teak and anything you want out of the weather entirely. Ask each facility what the roof actually covers and whether the pad drains, since standing water under a boat is a quiet way to ruin a trailer.
One of the three facilities advertises 24/7 gate access, which is worth having if you fish early or tow after work. The others keep posted hours, so check them before you assume you can roll in at 5 a.m. All three list cameras and gated entry, and one adds lighting to the mix. The type counts also show 2 of the 3 handle vehicles as well as boats, handy if the tow rig needs a home too. Walk the property before you sign. Look at the fence line, the gate latch and how the lighting sits at night.
There are 3 in town, with 2 more nearby. Together they average 4.5 stars across reviews. Covered, indoor and outdoor options are each represented once, so you have a real choice on coverage rather than three copies of the same setup.
Security Public Storage leads at 4.9 from 200 reviews. Public Storage follows at 4.5 from 248 reviews, and Bair Island Mini Storage sits at 4.2 from 28 reviews. Review counts vary a lot, so weigh the smaller sample accordingly.
One of the three facilities lists 24/7 gate access. The other two keep set hours, so confirm them before you plan an early launch. If you tow before sunrise or after dark, ask about lighting at the gate and along the rows.
Sun is the main issue. UV wears on gelcoat, upholstery and tires over time. Outdoor storage works for boats used often, but use a fitted cover and check it after rain. Covered or indoor space is the better call for a hull that sits for long stretches.
