Read some helpful reviews of Westward Boat Storage, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I only checked 1 star because a "0" was not available.. How can a person remain in business when they don't want to communicate with customers? I called Scott because he was supposed to be a "professional".. He says "yeah I can do it for you", but no return calls?, no emails?, NOTHING !! Just a waste of my time and everyone else's involved.. If a business does not communicate with it's customers, that is a business you DO NOT want to deal with.. MOVE ON.. ... Read more

If you want to know that you are getting what you pay for, use westward boat storage. Scott and Rob Janke are about as honest and hardworking as they come. On top of that they possess some of the best knowledge of a number of different boats. I use them for my storage, repair and summer/winterization needs. I always know I am in good hands with these guys. Do not hesitate to use Westward! ... Read more

My experience with Scott Janke differed from the other reviewers'. Greatly. Earlier this summer i was looking for someone who could haul a boat for me to a lake in northern Minnesota and haul it back a week later. Scott was referred to me by my marina owner, who actually called Scott and discussed my needs with him (I was standing next to my marina guy and heard his side of the conversation). They had a prior business relationship, so when I was given Scott's number and the green light to call him, I figured this was a good lead - after all, if Scott wasnt interested in the business, he could have told my marina owner and that would have been that, right? The next day, I called Scott and gave him more detail about what I needed. He didn't say he wasnt interested or that he couldn't do it. On the contrary, he told me he could haul the boat, gave me a ballpark estimate of the cost each way (which was fair), and asked for the exact destination so he could check the mileage against my estimate. (I would have paid what he asked if he stayed close to the estimate. ) He told me he would firm up his price and then call me back. The call was promising and I hung up fully expecting I would get a call back. Two days went by, then three. No call. I left a message. No call back. I gave it a couple of days. Left another message and, again, no call back. A week goes by and now Scott's voicemail is full - in my experience, not a good sign from someone in the service industry. Then, his outgoing voice message changed to say he would be away, but return the following Monday. So, I figured he went on vacation or something and just forgot to call. Gave him the benefit of the doubt. But, the next week was the same story: no return calls, no answer to any text messages. The guy completely ghosted me. Maybe he changed his mind about the business opportunity, i don't know. In my mind, though, there was no excuse for not returning one call or text message over the course of a month, even if he would have been calling to tell me he wasn't interested in the business. I lost time i could have been looking for other alternatives based on the things he told me on that first call and what he told my marina owner. His behavior was totally inconsistent with professionalism or reliability. So, you might wasnt to take my experience into account before calling Scott - you could save yourself a lot of hassle. There are a lot of boat service and storage businesses in Minnesota. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

The right storage unit size depends on what you plan to store and how much space you need to move around your items.

5x5 or 5x10 units are great for smaller loads, such as chairs, lamps, small furniture pieces, boxes, books, and documents.
