Why Store Your Boat with Billabong Self Storage?
Anyone who has stored a boat at home knows the routine. Shuffling the trailer to get the car out, backing it up the driveway in the dark, and a hull sitting in the sun collecting salt between trips.
Both our sites are laid out so you drive in and out without reversing the trailer. Arrive, pull forward into your bay, unhitch, and you are back on the road in minutes. That is easy access every time you tow, on the way out and on the return.
What sets us apart
- Drive-through access to your bay at both sites, so there is no three-point turn with a trailer on the back.
- Outdoor bays from 10.0 x 3.0m to 12.0 x 3.5m, measured for the boat and trailer together.
- Back to base security: PIN code access, CCTV monitored 24/7 and infra-red beams on every exterior fence.
- An onsite manager during office hours, and a gate that opens at the push of a button.
- Undercover storage for the tow car, so both halves of the rig have a home.
Features of Our Boat Storage Service
The benefits of a purpose-built bay over the driveway or the verge.
Drive In, No Reversing
Direct drive-through access to your bay at both sites. Gnangara's largest bays sit on a diagonal off the main driveway, so you tow in and out without a three-point turn.
Bays Up to 12 Metres
Outdoor bays from 10.0 x 3.0m to 12.0 x 3.5m, measured to take the boat and trailer together.
Back to Base Security
Individual PIN code access, CCTV monitored 24/7, and infra-red perimeter beams on every exterior fence.
Access Seven Days
Gate access runs 6am to 7:30pm every day, including public holidays. The office opens at 8:30 at Gnangara and 9:00 at Jandakot if you need a hand.
Undercover for the Tow Car
Undercover storage is available for the tow car, so both halves of the rig have a home.
Onsite Manager
Someone on site during office hours, and a gate that opens at the push of a button.
Boats and Jet Skis We Store
Whatever you tow, our team will match a bay to your rig. We also store caravans, trucks, cars and smaller vehicles if you need something else parked.
Trailer Boats
Runabouts, half cabins and centre consoles, stored on the trailer and ready to tow.
Wider Beam Boats
The 3.5m wide bays at both sites take a wider beam rig without a squeeze.
Jet Skis
Skis on a single or double trailer, parked between summers and ready for the next one.
Fishing Boats & Tinnies
Smaller fishing rigs and tinnies, in and out on a weekend without touching the driveway.
Why You Need Billabong Self Storage
Purpose-built facilities designed for the easiest possible storage experience, north and south of the river.
No Stairs
Drive-up access at ground level. Nothing to carry up a flight of stairs.
No Lifts
Open your bay and load straight off the tow ball. Nothing squeezed into a lift.
No Long Walks
Pull up at your bay, not out the front followed by a hike across the facility.
No Hidden Fees
No admin fees when you sign up and no bonds. The quote you get is the price you pay.
Bay Sizes
Find your rig below, or call either site and our team will match a bay to it.
Runabout or half cabin
The everyday Perth trailer boat, within 3 metres across the beam. Tinnies and jet skis fit here too.
Wider beam boat
Plate boats and wide hulls, anything more than 3 metres across the beam.
Wide boat, easiest tow-in
Same width again, on a diagonal off the main driveway. No three-point turn with a trailer on.
Long rig or cruiser
Our longest boat and trailer combinations, up to 12 metres end to end.
Every bay is measured to take the boat and trailer together. Measure your rig from the tip of the tow hitch to the back of the motor, and take the widest point of the beam. If you are between sizes, go up.
The Best Way to Store Your Boat
Putting the boat away wet is the biggest mistake there is. Salt left on the hull, trailer and fittings does more damage over a month than a season on the water.
1. Rinse and Flush
Rinse the hull, trailer and motor with fresh water, then flush the outboard. This is the step that decides how your rig looks in five years.
2. Pull the Bung and Drain
Pull the bung and let it drain properly. Leaving the bung in means water sits in the hull the whole time the boat is parked.
3. Dry and Cover
Dry it off and cover it before it goes into the bay. An uncovered boat sitting in full Perth sun is asking for trouble.
4. Park It in Your Bay
Leave it on the trailer with the tyres inflated and the jockey wheel supported, then park it in a monitored bay close to the ramp. Not on the verge, where it is exposed and, in a lot of Perth councils, not allowed.
Hardstand, Marina Pen or Dry Stack?
Four ways to keep a trailer boat in Perth, and what each one actually costs you.
Outdoor Hardstand
The most affordable way to store a trailer boat. You keep the trailer, and you go when the forecast is right. This is what we do.
Marina Pen
Keeps the boat in the water and launches fastest, but you pay for antifouling and hull maintenance year on year.
Dry Stack
Protects the boat well and is usually capped around 12 metres, but you give up the trailer and wait on the forklift.
The Verge
Free, and exposed to sun and salt with nothing watching it. In a lot of Perth councils it is also not allowed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boat Storage Perth
How much does it cost to store a boat in a storage facility in Perth?
Cost comes down to three things: the size of the bay, the facility, and how long you store. An open hardstand bay is the most affordable way to park a trailer boat in Perth.
Covered or fully enclosed storage costs more, and a marina pen more again once antifouling and hull maintenance are counted.

What are common boat storage mistakes?
Putting the boat away wet is the biggest one. Salt left on the hull, trailer and fittings does more damage over a month than a season on the water.
The others: forgetting to flush the motor, leaving the bung in so water sits in the hull, leaving the boat uncovered in full sun, booking a bay measured to the hull rather than the whole rig, and assuming the facility insures it.
What is the best way to store a boat?
Rinse the hull, trailer and motor with fresh water, flush the outboard, pull the bung and let it drain, then dry it and cover it before it goes into the bay. Leave it on the trailer with the tyres inflated and the jockey wheel supported.
Then park it in secure storage that’s monitored and close to the ramp you launch from, not on the verge, where it’s exposed and, in a lot of Perth councils, not allowed.
Is it better to store a boat in or out of the water?
For a trailer boat, out of the water. A boat kept in a pen needs antifouling, grows weed and marine growth, and corrodes faster, so it costs more to maintain year on year.
Stored dry, the hull stays clean, there’s no antifoul bill, and it’s behind a locked, monitored gate rather than sitting on open water. In-water pens make sense mainly for larger vessels launched several times a week.
