Shrink Wrapping

Shrink wrapping is one of the most effective ways to protect your boat from snow, ice, wind, and moisture during the long, cold Wisconsin winter. When properly installed, shrink wrap creates a durable, weather-tight barrier that shields your vessel from harsh conditions while allowing it to stay warmer on sunny days and completely dry even during heavy storms. For boat owners storing through the off-season, shrink wrap provides peace of mind that standard tarps and covers simply can’t match.

At Racine Riverside Marine, professional shrink wrapping starts with proper preparation and a custom-fitted approach. Each boat is individually wrapped to ensure full coverage, tight contours, and a secure seal that stands up to strong winds, freezing temperatures, and heavy snow loads common along Lake Michigan. This tailored fit prevents water intrusion, minimizes movement, and protects critical components such as decks, hardware, canvas, and interiors from winter damage.

We use high-quality marine shrink wrap materials specifically designed for cold-weather durability and long-term exposure. Our experienced technicians carefully frame the vessel to support snow loads, then heat-seal the wrap to create a strong, consistent enclosure. Strategic venting is added as needed to promote airflow and prevent condensation buildup, significantly reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and trapped moisture during storage.

The result is a clean, secure, and professional winter storage solution that helps preserve your boat’s condition, extend the life of finishes and systems, and simplify spring commissioning. Whether your boat is stored on land or within the marina, shrink wrapping from Racine Riverside Marine provides dependable protection through the toughest winter months—so your boat is ready when the season returns.
