History
and future of dry stack marinas
Dry stack boat storage has been a popular feature of many marinas
for over thirty years, especially in the east coast and northeast
regions of the country. Long ago, boaters realized their boats
would be safer from hurricane damage and intense sun (east coast)
and freezing weather (northeast) if they were stored inside a
building rather than moored in the water or left outside on trailers.
Growing awareness of the overwhelming benefits of dry storage
as well as regulatory and market factors will continue to increase
demand for dry storage. New marina developments are difficult
to permit and many older marinas are being retrofitted to handle
larger vessels while eliminating their shorter slips. In short,
the demand for boat moorage, especially in the under 40 feet category,
is increasing faster than the supply of new facilities designed
to handle these boats. Twin Bridges Marina was designed specifically
to meet the requirements of this profile of boater.
Twin Bridges Marina
Twin Bridges Marina is the first full service indoor heated dry
stack marina in the State of Washington. As such, we are the first
marina to offer boaters a dry, clean, protected and secure location
to store their boats while still offering almost unlimited access
and use of their boats. On-site maintenance and repair is available
through Granite BoatWorks in the attached shop and showroom. Our
location at the gateway to the San Juan Islands puts you within
minutes of beautiful year round cruising. Our staff is friendly
and professional and aims to make your boating experience a complete
success. These features combine to make Twin Bridges Marina the
best location, convenience, and value for the complete boating
experience.
