Where boats wait out the season

A global database of boat & ship storage.

Between voyages and over the winter, vessels need somewhere to sit — dry-stack racks, hard-stand boatyards, indoor storage sheds and the storage yards run by boat dealers. This is a worldwide, openly-sourced database of boat and ship storage, built from real OpenStreetMap data. Search by name or country, sort any column, and click a row for coordinates, a Google Maps link, a Google Earth flyover, and the facility's website and phone where available.

An emerging dataset — read this first

Honest about coverage.

OpenStreetMap has no single, clean tag for boat or dry-stack storage. So this is an emerging dataset assembled from the best-available real tags and pragmatic filtering — not a complete census. We combine explicit storage tags (landuse=boatyard, amenity=boat_storage, boat_storage=*) with marinas and boat dealers whose name or tags clearly indicate storage, dry stack, winter storage or a boatyard. We deliberately exclude craft=boatbuilder (a builder, not storage) and man_made=storage_tank. Coverage is genuinely thinner than our marina, harbor and shipyard databases, and it varies a lot by country — but every row here is a real, mapped feature, and the list grows as OpenStreetMap coverage improves.
