Tavares sits along Florida's Harris Chain of Lakes, an area known for year-round boating, fishing and lake access. With that kind of water activity nearby, many boat owners need a storage plan that keeps their vessel ready to launch without taking up space at home. Local humidity and seasonal storms also play a role in how owners choose between covered and uncovered parking.
The region's humid subtropical climate brings high humidity and a hurricane season that runs from June through November, according to historical climate data. Rain exposure during these months can increase moisture concerns for boats left fully uncovered, which is worth factoring into any storage decision. Annual rainfall in the area reaches around 40 inches, another detail that can influence whether covered or indoor storage makes sense for a given boat.
RecNation serves the Tavares area with a facility located in nearby Fruitland Park, offering boat storage options that include outdoor canopy, outdoor uncovered and indoor garage parking. Availability and pricing can vary by unit type, so it helps to compare the options before choosing one that fits your boat and budget.

Storage Options Available in Tavares
Boat owners in the Tavares area have a few different ways to store their vessel, each offering a different level of protection from the region's heat, rain and humidity. Comparing these options can help you decide what level of coverage makes sense for how often you use your boat and how long it sits between trips.
Outdoor Canopy Storage
Outdoor canopy storage provides a roof over the boat, which helps reduce direct overhead sun and rainfall exposure compared to fully uncovered parking. This can be a practical middle ground for owners who want some protection from the elements without paying for a fully enclosed unit.
While canopy storage helps limit direct exposure to sun and rain, it does not fully enclose the boat on all sides, so some weather exposure remains. It may be worth considering for boats that are used regularly throughout the boating season.
Outdoor Uncovered Storage
Outdoor uncovered storage leaves the boat exposed to local sun, rain and humidity, but it typically comes at a lower starting price. At the Fruitland Park facility, outdoor uncovered storage starts at $42 per month, making it a lower-cost option for owners prioritizing an affordable rate.
This option may suit owners who plan to use their boat frequently and do not need additional weather protection between trips. Given the area's rainfall and hurricane season, owners choosing this option should factor in the local climate when deciding how long the boat may sit in storage.
Indoor Garage Storage
Indoor garage storage offers the greatest separation from direct sun, rain and wind among the confirmed storage options in the area. For boats that owners want to keep further removed from daily weather exposure, this option provides more enclosed protection than either canopy or uncovered parking.
Indoor storage does not eliminate all humidity or guarantee protection from every condition, but it does offer more separation from the elements than outdoor options. This may be worth considering for boats stored for extended periods, particularly during the region's hurricane season.

This makes off-site storage a practical solution. RecNation RV & Boat Storage at 2363 US-27, Fruitland Park, offers a nearby option that keeps your boat compliant with local HOA rules while staying close to Tavares.
Tavares summers reach highs around 88 degrees with high humidity, while winter lows dip to about 52 degrees, making both seasons manageable for storage.
