Unique Vancouver Winterization Challenges
Vancouver boat owners face special winterization problems that other places don’t have. Our mild but wet weather means your boat deals with moisture all the time. Sudden cold snaps can catch even smart boaters off guard. We often see boats that got damaged because their winterization wasn’t right for our Pacific Northwest weather.
Complete Vessel Protection for BC Waters
Your yacht might be at Coal Harbour, Deep Cove, or anywhere along the Fraser River delta. Proper winterization is key to protecting your investment. Our boat winterization Vancouver services do much more than basic engine prep. We give complete yacht winterization protection made for our area. This includes protection from Richmond’s flood risks and ice that can form in False Creek during really cold times.
As Vancouver’s top marine service shop, we handle every part of winterization at our Steveston Harbour location. This includes careful engine winterizing and safe storage solutions. Our certified marine technicians know your boat is worth a lot of money. We treat every winterization job with the care it needs.
Professional Haul-Out and Storage Solutions
Steveston Harbour Haul-Out Services
Located at Steveston Harbour, we offer easy haul-out services with our skilled crew handling boats up to 80+ feet. Our great location means easy access for yacht owners throughout Richmond, Delta, and Vancouver. We understand the tide times and weather windows needed for safe haul-outs in our area.
Secure Storage Options
Choose between dry storage with proper blocking or in-water storage with constant watching. Our storage areas are built to handle Vancouver's wet winters. They protect your yacht from seasonal debris that flows down the Fraser River during spring floods. This is a key part of our yacht winterization services.

Complete Engine Winterization Services
Marine Engine Winterizing and Protection
Our certified technicians do complete engine winterization that goes way beyond basic antifreeze flushing. We work on complex engine rebuilds and know the detailed systems in luxury yachts around Vancouver's marinas. Each yacht winterization includes complete coolant system flushing, fuel treatment, and oil changes. We use marine-grade products picked just for BC's weather.
Advanced System Protection
Vancouver's changing winter temperatures need special care for hydraulic systems, generators, and extra engines. Our team works on everything from Caterpillar and MTU engines common in Coal Harbour yachts to Volvo Penta systems popular with Fraser River boaters. We make sure every part is ready for months of storage through our yacht winterization Vancouver process.
Hull and Systems Inspection
Complete Hull Care
Winter is the best time for thorough hull checks, through-hull looks, and bottom cleaning. Our technicians find potential problems before they become expensive fixes. This is extra important for yachts that move between Vancouver's saltwater and the Fraser River's fresh water.
Marine Systems Winterization
We winterize all water lines, heads, and freshwater systems to stop freeze damage. This includes care for the fancy plumbing systems in luxury yachts. We make sure everything from ice makers to washing machines stays protected through our complete yacht winterization process.
