The Boathouse at Benders Ferry offers Nashville boat storage with one big difference: your boat lives indoors on a rack, and our crew puts it in the water for you. Tell us when you are coming through SpeedyDock, and the team lifts the boat down, launches it and has it waiting at the dock. You park, walk over and step aboard. No trailer, no ramp queue, no hosing off a week of pollen.
The building takes 236 boats up to 32 feet long and keeps 50 spaces aside for personal watercraft. A 20,000-pound lift moves boats on and off the racks.
Owners send a request through SpeedyDock with the time they expect to arrive. Our crew pulls the boat from its rack, launches it and, if you asked, tops up the tank while the boat is being readied. Fuel at The Boathouse is only for storage customers, so it rides along on the same request rather than needing a separate stop.
Middle Tennessee summers run hot, and spring storms can be fierce. A boat kept under a roof and out of the water dodges most of the sun damage, standing rainwater and hull growth that come with an open slip. For most owners weighing boat storage Nashville options, the deciding questions are how much time they want to spend cleaning and how little they want to spend waiting. Enclosed racks with a launch service answer both.
We sit on Old Hickory’s south shore in Mount Juliet, east of downtown. For owners in Hermitage, Donelson and east Nashville, that puts indoor boat storage Nashville TN residents can use within a short drive. Coming from Lebanon is a straight run west.
Mt Juliet TN lies between two of the best known lakes near Nashville, with Old Hickory to the north and Percy Priest to the south. The Boathouse is on Old Hickory, next door to a yacht club and a public access area. It is a practical pick for anyone comparing boat storage Lebanon TN residents can reach without a long haul.
The Rubright family bought The Boathouse in October 2020. They also own Gallatin Marina across the same lake, which has covered wet slips for owners who would rather keep a boat afloat. Between them, the family’s two Old Hickory Lake marinas cover both kinds of storage.
It suits owners who boat often and would rather spend weekends on the water than on chores. Anyone who has spent years backing a trailer down a ramp will feel the difference quickly. Families like having the boat clean and ready by the time the kids are buckled in. If you prefer long days aboard at the dock, or doing your own engine work, talk to the team about how rack access is arranged.
Rack openings shift through the year, so we do not keep a live list online. The quickest route is to send your boat’s length, beam and height, including any tower or hardtop, through the form on this page or by phoning 615-758-2999. The team will check the fit and tell you what is free. You can also read about our enclosed storage and the marina store before you call.
If you are new to Old Hickory, ask about the lake as well. The staff can tell you which coves stay calm on a busy weekend and how far it is to the main channel from our dock.
