• Bottom paint and zincs last longer.
• No damage to decks, brightwork, paint, gelcoat and equipment from snow, rain,
wind or UV.

DRY MOORAGE
Could it be “Cheaper than Free”?
Recreational boaters in the Pacific Northwest are eagerly embracing the concept of “dry moorage”.
Most pleasure boats are unused for 80-90% of any given year. For many boat owners, mooring a 40-foot
boat in a traditional marina will add up to an annual expenditure of $8,000 to $12,000 per year. Pulling a
boat from the water and storing it ashore between uses is typically less expensive than keeping a boat in
a slip.
Many boaters living in the major population areas of central Puget Sound prefer to do their serious
recreational boating in the northern waters of our state. Alas, on any boat with relatively decent fuel
economy it takes almost all weekend to run from Seattle to the San Juans and back, (leaving little or no
time to enjoy the destination). Speedy boats that can run from Seattle to Friday Harbor in 2-3 hours may
burn hundreds of dollars in fuel en route, (leaving no money with which to go out to dinner). Boaters
who live in central Puget Sound but desire to do their boating in the San Juans are increasingly choosing
to moor their boats at ports located in Skagit and Whatcom counties. Beginning a cruise at one of the
“gateways” to the San Juans makes boating in the islands feasible on any sunny weekend, rather than
only during extended annual vacations.
To examine the economics and advantages of dry moorage, we’ll use a bustling facility operated by
Seaview Boatyard in Fairhaven. (Fairhaven is the funky, charming, 19th Century district immediately
south of the city of Bellingham). Dry moorage at Fairhaven permits a very short cruise from home port
to any destination in the San Juans. One of the most popular San Juan islands, Sucia, is especially
convenient to boaters departing from Bellingham Bay. Boaters preferring to spend a weekend in the
Canadian Gulf Islands also get an additional head start when departing from Bellingham.
Many dry storage facilities are outdoors, but Seaview keeps boats in a dry, heated, 30,000 square foot
Building. Seaview is advertising a monthly rate of $12.50/foot for boaters who sign up for a year. Using
a 40-foot boat as an example, we examined the cost of dry mooring at Seaview’s Bellingham yard. With
everything taken into consideration, the annual cost of $6,000 might even be “cheaper than free.”
Consider electricity. A boat stored in a heated building won’t require one or two very inefficient electric
space heaters to prevent freeze ups during the winter. If $80 per month is saved for six months, the
$6,000 annual cost is really reduced to $5520.
Consider bottom paint and zincs. Barnacles don’t grow on dry-stored boats, and zincs don’t erode. It
wouldn’t be unusual to get 2-3 times the service from a bottom paint job or a fresh set of zincs on a dry
moored boat. For purposes of calculation, let’s conservatively say that extending the life of bottom paint
and zincs saves a dry moorage boater $900 per year. The $5520 figure from the previous paragraph is
now reduced to $4620.
Consider canvas. A boat moored indoors does not leave canvas exposed to damage from rain, wind and
UV rays. If the life expectancy of a $20,000 canvas job on a boat moored in an outdoor slip is a dozen
years and indoor dry moorage extends that life expectancy to 20, the savings will average about $650
per year. The net cost is now reduced from $4620 to $3970 per year.
Boaters will extensive amounts of brightwork or teak decks will enjoy enormous savings every year.
Even those owners who do their own brightwork and maintain their own decks should consider the
irreplaceable nature of their leisure time, and assign some value accordingly. We won’t factor in
brightwork or teak decks in this article, because not every boat has exterior woodwork. Were we to do
so, those boaters who currently pay to have their exterior teak maintained would be deducting a huge
portion of the remaining $3970 in our calculation.
There are many other ways to realize savings with indoor, heated moorage. Lines and fenders will last
longer (estimate $250 per year). A wax job will last much, much longer, (estimate $1000 per year).
It wouldn’t be difficult to compile a realistic list of $4-5,000 in annual savings that could be realized
through the indoor dry moorage of a 40-foot boat. A reader might ask, “So, how can that be cheaper
than free? If you spend $6,000 and only save $4-5,000, you’re still putting out at least $1,000 per year
for moorage, aren’t you?
Consider fuel savings. A car that gets 25 mpg on the highway can leave Seattle and arrive in Fairhaven in
less than 90-minutes. Even at $4 per gallon, the cost of getting from Seattle to Fairhaven by car will be
roughly $15. It might take a pleasure boater, moored on Lake Union, the same 90-minutes to get
through the locks. An 8-knot boat that burns 5 gallons per hour will spend about 10 hours motoring
from Seattle to Bellingham. At $4 per gallon, that 8-knot boat will burn about $200 in fuel to make the
cruise. (A 20-knot boat that burns 50-gallons per hour could cruise from Seattle to Bellingham in about 4
hours, but with a cost of approximately $800 for fuel).
For boaters bound for the San Juan Islands or points north, annual fuel savings will often be sufficient to
offset the $1,000 or so that remained from previous considerations. Therefore, dry moorage at Seaview
Boatyard’s facility in Fairhaven can indeed prove to be an option that is “cheaper than free” for many
central Puget Sound boaters.
