Boat Storage on Lake Simcoe

Two yards on the lake. One at Georgina on the south shore, one at Barrie on Kempenfelt Bay. Your boat goes to whichever is closer to your dock.

About This Area

One lake, two very different freeze dates.

Lake Simcoe is the fourth largest lake in Ontario and it does not freeze all at once. Cook’s Bay at the south end is shallow, roughly four to five metres through most of it, and it can start making ice while the rest of the lake is still open water. Kempenfelt Bay at Barrie runs past forty metres deep and holds its heat, so the west end is regularly two to three weeks behind the south.

That gap matters more than most owners expect. A boat kept at Keswick or Holland Landing is on a genuinely earlier clock than an identical boat kept at Barrie or Big Bay Point, and the people who get caught out every year are the ones who assume the whole lake works to one date. We schedule the south end first and work north and west as the season closes.

We run two yards on Simcoe rather than one, which is the practical answer to a lake this size. A boat from Jackson’s Point does not need to be trailered past Bradford to reach storage, and a boat from Innisfil does not need to cross to the south shore. Both yards are fenced, gated and monitored, both are insured to $5M with a certificate available on request, and the location of neither is published.

Pick your area: Georgina for the south shore, Keswick and Cook’s Bay, or Barrie and Kempenfelt Bay. East of the lake we also serve the Kawartha Lakes from a third yard.

What we do on Simcoe.

Three services, together or separately. On a lake with this much open fetch, a proper frame matters more than the film does.

Pricing, published and clear Outdoor winter boat storage from $38 per foot, shrink wrap from $20 per foot, and full-service packages built from those same published rates. Most marinas on this lake will not give you a number without a phone call. Ours are all on the pricing page, and what a full package costs depends on your boat’s length, engine type and count, battery count, and which pickup method you pick, so build your exact package rather than working from an average.

Shrink Wrap Muskoka has been storing and wrapping boats in Ontario cottage country since 2019. The Lake Simcoe operation runs from its own local yard, with the same insurance, the same published rates and the same money-back guarantee on wrap quality.

Cook’s Bay fills first because it freezes first. If you are at the south end, book earlier than you think you need to.
