About E. J. Mertaugh Boat Works
STORAGE & DOCKAGE E.J. Mertaugh Boat Works offers heated storage and cold indoor storage for both powerboats and sailboats. Full service heated storage includes the cost of waste tank pump out, haul out, travel lift transportation, and launch the following season. Summer storage charges will be assessed in late August. A la carte heated stored includes solely the cost of storage. We also rent docks seasonally for a flat rate. Seasonal docking is located at our private marina in the heart of downtown Hessel in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. There are limited slips and will be rented on a first come first served basis.
