Consider Your Budget
Assess Your Needs and Preferences
- How many boats do you own?
- Will you want a seating area where you can relax on the water?
- How many people will your boathouse need to entertain?
- Have you seen other boathouses you loved? What were the aesthetics of that boathouse like?
- What entertainment features would you like to add, such as waterslides, firepits, kitchenettes?
Consider Your Site
- Water must be sufficiently deep for your boat, and free from obstruction.
- You should consider both how you and your boat will maneuver in and out of the boathouse.
- The site must comply with all local ordinances and building codes.
Style, Sizing, and Layout
Boathouses may be as big or as small as you require and as the space allows. Multi-level boathouses may offer more spaces for entertaining. Multi-slip boathouses let you store more boats.
You’ve a wide range of options, from a simple slip that does little more than protect the boat to an entire waterfront hideaway.
