What's actually available
The two Richmond facilities split the work in different ways. Public Storage carries covered, indoor, and outdoor spots and takes boats along with other vehicles, so you can pick based on how much weather protection you want. German School Rd RV & Boat Storage handles boats, trailers, vehicles, and semi trucks, which makes it the better call if you tow something heavy or need room for a trailer alongside the boat. Only one facility is listed as covered and only one as indoor, so if enclosed storage is the priority, confirm it before you drive over. Availability shifts with the season.
Picking the right spot
An open spot is the cheapest way to keep a boat in Richmond, but sun works on gelcoat, vinyl, and tires year round. A cover and a good wax job go a long way. Covered storage cuts the UV load without walling you in, and indoor storage keeps a rig out of pollen, leaves, and spring storms entirely. Ask about gate hours even though both facilities here advertise 24/7 access, and check what the lane looks like when you arrive with a trailer. Tight turns and low branches are the usual headaches. Confirm your insurance covers the boat while it sits on someone else's property.
Before you sign
Walk the site first. Look at drainage where you'd park, since a low corner that holds water is bad for a trailer frame and worse for anything stored on the ground. Ask whether the facility wants the battery pulled or on a maintainer, and how they handle winterizing if you store through the cold months. Read the agreement for what happens if you're late on rent and how much notice you need to leave. With only two facilities in town, get on a waitlist early if your first choice is full. German School Rd and the Public Storage location both take boats, so a single phone call to each tells you most of what you need.
