Indoor and outdoor boat storage, outboard motor storage, dinghy storage and summer trailer parking are available at a sensible rate in a convenient location. With our new radiant heat system, boat owners can work through the winter on their boats in a very comfortable environment. If you should need experise, Skyway offers many services to repair and restore your boat after a summer spent in the harsh marine environment of Lake Michigan. Try out these tips for winterization.
