Our Company

Our location has operated as a marine storage company for over 50 years. The facility was first known as Bob’s Indoor Boat Storage, before becoming what it is today: Smugg’s Indoor Boat Storage. We are thrilled to provide boat storage to the downriver community! With easy access to Lake Erie, home to one of the top walleye ecosystems in the country, and Lake St. Clair, we cannot wait to get your boat in service.

We know how important protecting your boat is during the harsh Michigan winters, so we are proud to say we provide the only heated indoor boat storage unit in the area. Our marina has 115 inside storage racks and our crew can rack and launch boats up to 28′ in length. Plus, our outdoor lot can accommodate boats of all sizes. Pull right up to our facility and tie off!

The best news yet… we are located directly next door to Smugglers Run on the River, Metro Detroit’s premier waterfront live entertainment venue. You can enjoy everything from packaged beer and wine to catering and special events! Call ahead to place your order before you jet and hit the water for the day.
