As the leaves of summer transform into their autumn hues, our beloved motor and sailboats are one by one finding new homes on land and in the water for this year's looming winter storage season.
Dry storage haul-outs have begun steadily as vessels make their way to allocated areas in the boatyards of Haven Harbour Marina and Haven Harbour South via the guidance and knowledge of experienced lift crews.
Other vessels will be wet storing throughout the coming months, and have begun the process of preparing onboard systems for in-water winterization.
"We dry store around 220 vessels and about 30 more in the water each year here at HHM," said Director of Service Operations Greta Sommers.
At Haven Harbour South, 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 Haven Harbour Marina or Haven Harbour South, please visit
