Three facilities in Rochester list boat storage, and three more sit just outside town. Outdoor storage is the most common option, with three sites offering it. Two facilities have indoor space, which is what you want if you're planning to keep the boat out of the weather. None of the listings show covered storage, so don't count on a canopy. A couple of places also handle vehicles and trailers, which helps if you store the tow rig and the boat together. The average rating across these facilities is 4.5, based on a mix of review counts. Some spots have hundreds of reviews, others just a few dozen, so read the recent ones.
Only three facilities are listed here, so inventory is thin. Call ahead and ask about gate hours, since none of the listings advertise 24/7 access. Ask how they handle winter, because Rochester gets snow and freeze-thaw cycles that are hard on covers and batteries. A battery maintainer is cheap insurance if you're storing indoors. For outdoor spots, check whether the ground drains well and whether the boat sits on gravel or grass. Confirm what your insurance covers while the boat is off the water. And ask if you can access the boat for maintenance during the off-season, because some facilities lock down in winter.

Store Space Self Storage has a 4.7 rating from 677 reviews and provides outdoor boat and vehicle storage. Gibbs Marine Group, Inc. is rated 4.0 from 54 reviews and has both indoor and outdoor boat storage. If you want the best odds of a spot that fits a trailer, Jay Street is the one to call first.
