Boat owners in Hastings often plan their storage decisions around the St. Johns River and the region's long boating season, since the humid subtropical climate here keeps waterways active for much of the year. With a summer high around 88 degrees and 39.7 inches of annual rainfall on average, according to historical climate data, keeping a boat shielded from sun and moisture is a practical concern rather than an afterthought. Hastings sits in an agricultural stretch of St. Johns County, and while boats are common, dedicated storage close to home can be limited.
The hurricane season, running from June through November in this part of Florida, adds another layer of planning for anyone storing a boat outdoors for extended periods. High humidity through the warmer months can also contribute to moisture buildup on tarps, covers and hardware if a boat sits uncovered for long stretches. The closest RecNation facility, located at 4533 Avenue A St in St. Augustine, is approximately 18.5 miles from Hastings and offers an accessible option for owners weighing covered versus uncovered storage.
RecNation serves the Hastings area through seven facilities across St. Augustine, St. Johns and Ponte Vedra Beach, with outdoor canopy, outdoor uncovered and indoor garage storage available depending on the location. Each site is set up to make boat storage straightforward, from gate access to online account management, though specific unit types and availability vary by property.

Storage Options Available in Hastings
The three storage types available through RecNation differ mainly in how much protection they offer from sun, rain and wind, and pricing reflects that difference. Reviewing what each option provides can help you match your boat's needs and your budget to the right facility.
Outdoor Canopy
Outdoor canopy storage places a roof structure over the boat, which helps reduce direct overhead sun exposure and limits how much rain falls directly on the deck and hull. This can be a reasonable middle ground for owners who want some protection from Florida's intense summer sun without the cost of a fully enclosed unit.
Because the sides remain open, canopy storage does not block wind-driven rain or humidity the way an enclosed structure would. It may still be a practical choice for boats used frequently throughout the boating season, since loading and unloading tend to be quicker than with indoor units.
Outdoor Uncovered
Outdoor uncovered storage leaves the boat fully exposed to sun, rain and the seasonal humidity common in this part of Florida. Owners choosing this option should plan on covering the boat themselves and checking it periodically, particularly during the June through November hurricane season.
Outdoor uncovered storage starts at $105 per month, making it the most budget-friendly option among the confirmed storage types. It may suit owners who prioritize a lower starting price and use their boat often enough that extended outdoor exposure is less of a concern.
Indoor Garage
Indoor garage storage offers the greatest separation from direct sun, rain and wind among the confirmed storage options, since the boat sits inside an enclosed structure rather than under a canopy or in the open. This can help limit fading from UV exposure and reduce the amount of moisture that reaches the boat during heavy rain.
Indoor garage storage is not necessarily available at every facility serving Hastings, so it is worth confirming availability at the specific location you are considering. For boats stored for longer stretches between uses, indoor storage may be worth considering given the added separation from the elements.

Florida law prevents HOAs from banning driveway parking outright, but most associations still restrict long-term boat storage in visible areas like driveways or side yards. This means Hastings residents often cannot legally keep a boat at home long term. RecNation RV & Boat Storage at 83 Star Lane in nearby St. Augustine offers a compliant, secure alternative for boat owners facing these restrictions.
Hastings experiences a humid subtropical climate with summer highs around 88 degrees and winter lows near 52 degrees, making year-round storage practical. However, hurricane season runs from June through November, so boat owners should plan ahead and secure storage before this window begins. Storing early in spring helps avoid the rush and ensures your boat is protected before storm activity increases in the region.
Hastings sees high humidity and about 39.7 inches of annual rainfall, both of which can accelerate mold growth, moisture damage, and rust on metal components and hardware. UV exposure from long summer days can also fade upholstery and gel coat over time. Choosing covered or indoor storage helps shield your boat from these conditions, reducing weather-related wear compared to leaving it uncovered outdoors.
Traditional storage units are not designed for boats, but RecNation RV & Boat Storage offers purpose-built boat storage options at facilities across Florida, including locations in St. Augustine at 83 Star Lane and 4533 Avenue A St. These facilities provide space and access suited specifically for boats, unlike standard indoor storage units meant for household items or small belongings.
