I have heard much about keeping a cruising
boat below 40 feet/12 meters because the slip and dry
storage fees increase dramatically above that size. The limited information I have found online suggests the increase is more gradual and that a 43 foot/13 meter
monohull is not really much more than one below the 40 foot mark.
We plan to leave in two years and
cruise the world. We will likely be leaving the
boat in various locations for as much as 6 months at a time, so we would like to get a grip on the nuances of dry
storage fees as we make our final boat selection.
Does anyone have any thoughts or observations on storage fees as it relates to boats in this size range? Is there a large increase in fees or is it simply linear?
