Press Release - For Immediate Distribution
 Buoyed
by increased demand and rapid growth, North Kingstown-based Mill
Creek Marine is constructing a state of the art sales,
service, and dry stack boat storage facility on Allen’s
Harbor at Quonset, to be completed this fall. The new facility
will house 72 boats (up to 38’ long) at the outset, with
plans to increase capacity for 168 boats over the next few years.
The Dry Stack storage system is a more cost-effective, environmentally
friendly alternative to the wet slip method used by marinas throughout
Rhode Island. Boat owners save about $30/foot annually with this
method as boats no longer need bottom and anti corrosion painting,
shrink wrapping, and power washing. Dry Stack storage also reduces
wear and tear on the boat as it is always stored inside. It also
provides a better boating experience as the owners only need to
call to schedule a launch. The boat is waiting at the docks ready
to go out. At the end of the day, they simply tie up anywhere
on the docks and take their belongings. The boat is pulled out
of the water, rinsed off and put back in the building. The building
itself is fully insulated and built to withstand 110mph winds.
Additionally, Mill Creek will also offer customers a unique
flat rate boating program which will include annual maintenance
fees in the monthly storage fee, allowing the fixed costs of boating
to be spread over the whole year.
