Boat Shrink Wrapping in Charlevoix, Round Lake & Lake Charlevoix

Charlevoix boats live in a tight harbor: Round Lake, the channel under the US-31 drawbridge, and the big water of Lake Charlevoix. After haul-out, lake-effect off Lake Michigan plus a deep freeze on the inland lake will find any gap in a cover. We wrap at the municipal marina, storage lots, and home pads so the wrap sheds snow instead of holding it. See all service areas →

Harbor wind, channel spray, and lake snow — sealed.

Wind funnels through the drawbridge channel and stacks snow on Lake Charlevoix boats sitting in yards and lots. A custom, vented shrink wrap stays tight; we winterize engines and plumbing so Round Lake freeze does not crack a fitting.

Boat Shrink Wrapping

Custom, vented shrink wrap that sheds snow and stops moisture, with no sagging and no mildew.

Engine Winterization

Full engine winterization - antifreeze, fogging, stabilizer - so spring startup is trouble-free.

Plumbing & Systems

Drain and protect freshwater, head and washdown systems from freeze damage.

Mobile Service

We come to your home, storage lot or marina, so you do not have to haul it to us.

Storage Prep

Battery, cover and layup prep so your boat sits safe all winter.

Spring De-Wrap

Optional spring un-wrap and recycling so you are ready to launch.

Round Lake freezes while the big lake still throws spray.

A tarp that looks fine in October is a pond of ice in January. Wet snow can collapse a cover, crack gelcoat, and flood a cockpit, and an engine that is not winterized can crack a block — a $5,000+ mistake. Wrap after haul-out as drawbridge season winds down, before the first heavy snow.

Questions we get asked.

When should I wrap a Charlevoix boat?

Right after fall haul-out from Round Lake or Lake Charlevoix, before the harbor ices and lake-effect snow stacks up. Book as the drawbridge season winds down.

Do you wrap at the marina by the drawbridge?

Yes. We wrap at Charlevoix Municipal Marina, Round Lake lots, Lake Charlevoix docks, and home storage from the city out toward the south arm.

How much does shrink wrapping cost?

Pricing is by boat length: roughly $18/ft to wrap, or about $28/ft wrapped and winterized. Send the form for an exact quote.

Why not just use a canvas cover?

Lake Michigan wind through the channel and snow load on Lake Charlevoix sag canvas. A vented shrink wrap stays tight, sheds snow, and keeps moisture out of the cabin.

Do you winterize the engine too?

Yes — full engine and plumbing winterization so a Charlevoix freeze does not split a block or a fitting over a long winter.
