RV & Boat Storage in Branford, CT

Branford local guide

Branford is one of the busiest boating towns on the Connecticut shore, just east of New Haven, with the Branford River running down to Long Island Sound and the Thimble Islands off Stony Creek. All three storage options are boatyards on the river: Branford Landing Marina, the last marina up the river's dredged channel, and Dutch Wharf next door on Maple Street, plus Safe Harbor Bruce & Johnsons on South Montowese Street.

Storage here means winter haul-out. Branford Landing has 85,000 square feet of indoor storage in old factory buildings plus outdoor and rack storage, with a 50-ton Travelift. Safe Harbor Bruce & Johnsons stores boats from 10 to 65 feet indoors or out, with a winter package that includes haul-out, pressure wash and spring launch, and also keeps trailers. Dutch Wharf stores up to 140 boats dry or in the water and specializes in wooden boats, with fiberglass repair as well.

Boating in Connecticut: boats are registered through the Connecticut DMV, and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's Boating Division runs boater certification and boating safety programs. Ramps and dump stations below come from OpenStreetMap.
