As the leaves of summer transform into their autumn hues, our beloved motor and sailboats used in a season past are gradually finding new homes on land or in water for winter storage.

Dry storage haul-outs have steadily begun as vessels make their way to allocated areas in the boatyards of Haven Harbour Marina and Haven Harbour South via the guidance of knowledgeable and experienced lift crews.

Other vessels that will be wet storing over the coming months have begun the process as well, preparing onboard systems for in-water winterization.

"We store upwards of 220 vessels a year on land and about 30 more in water here at HHM," said Haven Harbour Marina Resorts Director of Service Operations Greta Sommers.

At HHS, roughly 130 vessels call its boatyard home each winter, with several more taking up slips for wet storage.

We will be providing weekly winter updates on boatyard conditions right here in News @HHMR . If you have any questions, comments or concerns, or would like to inquire about future winter storing of your vessel at either HHM or HHS, please visit havenharbour.com/service .
