Here's what October looks like for most Spokane boat owners: a winterization appointment across town, a storage unit on another side of town, a dead Saturday hauling between the two, and a nagging worry from November to April that something was missed. Multiply by every year you own the boat.
Here's what October looks like for Shadow Boat Concierge members: a phone call.
We pick up your boat anywhere in Spokane County — driveway, dock, marina, or current storage lot — winterize it, store it, detail it, spring-service it, and bring it back ready for the water. Full tank included. It's the program our returning members renew before we ever open spots to the public.
Fall pickup from your location. Complete winterization by experienced marine mechanics — the same crew behind Spokane Boat Repair's 92+ five-star Google reviews: fuel treatment, fogging, full block/manifold/pump drain on I/Os, oil and filter change, grease fittings, batteries pulled and stored indoors on maintainers. Storage in your choice of three tiers at our secured facility (20+ years, zero break-ins, live-on-site manager). Spring engine service, trailer inspection with bearings and lights, detailing per your tier, and delivery to your home or launch at the ramp of your choice — Long Lake, Lake Roosevelt, Liberty Lake, or over the border to CdA.
A storage stripe near the freeway runs $50–$120/month — call it $700 a winter for pavement, while winterization, wrap, spring service, detail, and six round trips with the trailer stay on your tab and your calendar. Stack those up and the "cheap" option lands within shouting distance of our Captain tier — without the security record, without the on-site mechanic, and with all the work still yours.
Concierge packages are custom-quoted by storage tier and boat. Mid-tier Admiral members — covered storage, breathable shrink wrap, 100-hour service, full detail — make up most of the roster.
From Newman Lake ski boats to Roosevelt walleye rigs, we handle boats up to 12,500 lbs and 8'6" beam with our own trucks, larger via transport partner. Ballast systems, heaters, and showers winterized on wake boats; kicker motors and electronics handled on fishing boats; pontoons cleaned and polished until the logs shine.
Capacity is capped at 25 boats per season. Returning members hold roughly half the roster before public spots open. If this is the winter you stop hauling, call before the September rush.
All of Spokane County — Spokane, the Valley, Liberty Lake, Cheney, Nine Mile, Deer Park, Otis Orchards — plus North Idaho.
Yes, and members do this constantly: we collect from your old lot in fall, and you simply don't renew it.
Many members used to. The package isn't really buying winterization — it's buying back every haul, appointment, and freeze-risk worry between October and May. The detail alone converts most skeptics in spring.
July–August. By mid-September the remaining spots go fast, and our pickup calendar fills back-to-front from Labor Day.
RV storage and winterization, yes — full RV concierge varies by rig; call and we'll scope it.
This winter, the boat takes care of itself. Spokane pickup included — 25 boats per season.
