Boat Storage
Outdoor boat storage is available at Cherubini Yachts. The location is very convenient for people in the Philadelphia metropolitan region.
The actual hauling of boats is done by Riverside Marina, which is adjacent to our boat yard. (In the photo on Riverside Marina's website, Cherubini Yachts is in the upper right corner.) The Riverside Marina travel lift can handle boats with a draft of seven feet, beam of 16 feet and weight up to 35 tons. It enters the Cherubini yard through a gate that separates and joins the properties.

Boat owners may perform minor repairs and cosmetic work to their own boat while it is in the yard for storage.
Owners must provide a ground cloth (blue tarp from Home Depot is OK) prior to blocking the boats, to catch flakes of bottom paint and sanding dust. Professional contractors must be fully insured and registered with the yard office. Storage customers do not have access to the boat yard's shop resources. Electricity and water are available.
The yard is enclosed by a fence and is locked when no one is around. Over the past many years, it has been very secure.
The locale of the boat yard has a rich concentration of resources that will help the boat owner. Marine supplies, sail loft, hardware stores, auto supply stores, welding and machine shops are all nearby. It is 10-15 minutes northeast from the Betsy Ross or Tacony-Palmyra bridges, convenient to boat owners in the Philadelphia and southern New Jersey region. The do-it-yourselfer will have lots of support from other owners, and Cherubini Yachts can assist professionally if and as needed.
The yard has one extra, unusual delight. Its view to the west, sunsets at the yard are often spectacular. If you stay past sunset, you will occassionally be treated to spectacular rising or setting of the moon and planets. (see photos below)

Storage at Cherubini Yachts will be $6.00 per foot per month (6 month minimum), plus 7% state sales tax.
Terms:
- These rates cover the six months through April 2009.
- Payment for Riverside charges and Cherubini storage must be made before the boat enters the yard.
- Owners must provide original valid boat registrations (we will photocopy this and return it immediately) and original "Certificate of Marine Insurance."
- Owners must review and sign our storage contract and be in full compliance with all of its terms as well as all rules pertaining to boat storage and yard operation.
- Owners must provide ground cover (blue tarp or equivalent) at least as long as the boat and twice as wide prior to hauling. (This can be conveniently procured from Home Depot, Lowes, or Riverside Marina.)
- Note that these rates are for storage only. They do not include winterizing, other preparations for storage, or monitoring a boat's condition. If you want such services, they can be arranged through the yard.
Recommendation:
It is highly recommended that the owner be present when his boat is hauled and blocked. This will avoid extra charges for moving the boat to the travel lift, and the owner can ensure that the boat is blocked properly for optimal drainage. (Bring a bottle of water and pour it on the deck and cockpit floor to test the drainage.)
Masts:
Taking out and putting in masts will be roughly $100-$150 each way, presuming we can schedule several boats at the same time. Consult yard management about scheduling this. Owners provide your own saw horses.
Suggestions for Storage:
We offer some suggestions for storage to make sure that your boat does not suffer any deterioration from the elements while she is stored.
