One Call in the Fall: Northern Lakes Boat Co. Can Handle Your End-of-Season Boat & Dock Needs

For boat owners in northern Michigan, the end of summer can feel like a second job.

The days get shorter, the kids go back to school, the leaves start changing—and suddenly there’s a long list of things that need to happen before winter arrives.

The boat needs to come out of the water. The engine needs to be winterized. The boat needs to be cleaned. The dock and hoist need to come out. Everything needs to be stored. And somehow, it all needs to happen before the first hard freeze or major snowstorm.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could make one phone call and have someone coordinate all of it?

That's exactly what we built Northern Lakes Boat Co. to do.

Boat Storage

Finding a safe place to store your boat shouldn't be an afterthought.

Northern Lakes Boat Co. offers indoor and outdoor boat storage options for boats of various sizes.

Whether you're looking for indoor cold storage, heated storage or secure outdoor storage, we can help you find an option that fits your boat and your needs.

And because storage can be coordinated with our other services, you don't have to arrange transportation between multiple companies.

We can help get your boat from the lake, prepared for winter and into storage.

Boat Winterization

Winterizing a boat properly is one of the most important things you can do to protect your investment.

Our winterization services are designed to prepare your boat for the long Michigan winter, helping protect the engine and other systems from freezing temperatures and months of inactivity.

It's one less thing you need to worry about—and one more thing you can check off your fall list.

Professional Boat Detailing

Before your boat goes into storage, it's a great time to have it professionally cleaned and protected.

Our detailing services can address the dirt, grime, oxidation and buildup that accumulated throughout the boating season.

Why store a dirty boat?

Put it away clean, protected and ready for next summer.

A thorough fall detail also gives us an opportunity to identify areas that may need attention before the next boating season.

Shrink-Wrapping

Michigan winters are hard on boats.

Snow, ice, wind, moisture and temperature swings can all take a toll.

Professional shrink-wrapping provides a protective barrier against the elements and helps keep your boat clean and protected while it's stored outdoors.

We use quality materials and proper framing, ventilation and moisture control to create a winter cover designed to make it through the season.

Dock & Hoist Removal

Your boat isn't the only thing that needs to come out of the water.

Docks and boat hoists need to be removed before winter as well.

If you've ever spent a cold October afternoon wrestling with dock sections, wheels, posts and hoists, you know this isn't exactly the best way to spend a fall weekend.

Let us handle it.

We can coordinate dock and hoist removal as part of your end-of-season plan, helping you get everything buttoned up before winter.

Boat Transportation & Delivery

Getting a boat from the lake to your storage location isn't always simple.

Whether your boat needs to be transported to our facility, moved to another location or delivered back to your property, Northern Lakes Boat Co. can help with boat transportation and delivery.

That means fewer phone calls and fewer moving parts for you.

And When Spring Comes...

Our relationship with our customers doesn't end when the boat goes into storage.

When spring arrives, we're ready to help get you back on the water.

From transportation and preparation to detailing and other services, we can help get your boat ready for another summer on the lakes.

Because the goal isn't simply to store your boat.

The goal is to make it easier for you to enjoy your boat.

One Call. One Company. One Less Headache.

The end of summer shouldn't be spent making a dozen phone calls trying to coordinate boat storage, winterization, detailing, shrink-wrapping, dock removal and transportation.

Make one call to Northern Lakes Boat Co.

Tell us what you need, and we'll help coordinate the pieces.

We'll take care of as much of the process as possible so you can spend your fall doing the things you actually want to do—enjoying northern Michigan, spending time with family and friends, and getting ready for another summer on the water.
