Garage Plans with Boat Storage

A dedicated indoor space for storing a boat is commonly called a boathouse, boat garage, or boat storage unit. At Bear Cave Storage, our indoor boat storage units function like a private garage — fully enclosed, secured with gated access and 24/7 surveillance, and accessible via drive-up doors sized to accommodate boats of most lengths.

Unit size depends on your boat's length and trailer. A standard fishing boat or jet ski typically fits in an 8×20 or 10×20 ft unit. Larger pontoons, ski boats, or boats with trailers often require a 10×24, 10×30, or even a 20×40 ft unit. Bear Cave Storage offers multiple sizes to match your specific watercraft.

Indoor boat storage provides significantly better protection, especially in Minnesota's climate. It shields your boat from UV damage, freezing temperatures, ice, snow, and moisture — all of which can degrade upholstery, engines, and hull finishes. Bear Cave Storage's enclosed indoor units offer full weather protection year-round.

Pricing varies by unit size and rental term. Bear Cave Storage offers flexible options: month-to-month rentals, a 5% discount on 6-month plans, and a 10% discount on 12-month plans. Online rentals and bill pay are available 24/7. Contact the team at (507) 533-6185 or visit the website to check current pricing and availability.

Yes. Most of our larger units — particularly the 10×30, 10×24, and 20×40 ft options — are designed to accommodate a boat on its trailer as a single combined unit. Drive-up access makes loading and unloading simple. For very large rigs, the 20×40 ft unit or our shared indoor space with a 14-ft overhead door is recommended.
