Boat Storage in Aspen, CO
Looking for boat storage for Aspen, CO? Right Move Storage | Rifle offers gated outdoor parking for trailered boats on Airport Road in Rifle, about 65 miles down-valley from Aspen — and roughly ten miles from the ramps at Rifle Gap Reservoir. Upper-valley space is scarce and most neighborhoods won’t allow a boat and trailer parked at home, so for owners who boat the Western Slope, storing down-valley keeps the trailer off your property and close to the water. Open gravel spaces run up to 46 feet, with a covered 12×50 space and month-to-month terms.
Why Choose Boat Storage in Aspen, CO
The upper Roaring Fork Valley isn’t boating country — the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan are fly-fishing rivers, and upper-valley property rarely has room for a boat and trailer. Most neighborhoods and HOAs won’t allow one parked outside at all. If you launch on the Western Slope, Right Move Storage in Rifle puts the boat about ten minutes from the ramps at Rifle Gap Reservoir instead of sitting at home 65 miles up-valley.
- Near the Ramps, Not the House: Rifle Gap is about ten miles north of the lot, so the trailer is already most of the way to the water before you arrive.
- Room for the Whole Setup: Spaces are sized for boat and trailer together, with width for a wider beam and length for the tongue and outboard.
- Covered Parking Available: Our 12×50 covered space keeps a hull out of direct high-altitude sun, which fades gelcoat and breaks down upholstery and canvas faster at elevation.
- Lower Elevation, Less Snow: At roughly 5,300 feet, Rifle sees far less snowfall than Aspen, so less weight sits on your cover through the winter.
- Gated, Fenced, and Lit: An automatic gate with coded entry, perimeter fencing, and well-lit grounds keep the lot secure.
- Right Off the Interstate: The lot sits at exit 90, with no mountain back roads at the end of the drive.
- Month-to-Month Flexibility: Park through the off-season or hold the space year-round, with no long-term lease.
