Hurricane checklist for a boat in Arkansas

  1. Decide haul-out versus slip early; marina contracts often set haul-out order.
  2. On land, strap the hull to ground anchors and pull the drain plug.
  3. Strip canvas, biminis, cushions and electronics.
  4. In a slip, double the lines, add chafe gear and leave slack for surge.
  5. Photograph the hull ID and position; keep papers waterproofed.
  6. Get the building wind rating, the FEMA flood zone of the address and the re-entry rules in writing.

Arkansas hurricane season boat questions

Do hurricanes reach Arkansas?

NOAA's continental U.S. hurricane impact table (1851-2025) records no hurricane-force winds in Arkansas. Weakened tropical systems still bring heavy rain, so a boat stored in a low spot or below grade can flood during the June to November season. Fayetteville averages 45.4 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in May.

Which Arkansas boat storage listings are enclosed?

19 of 22 live Arkansas listings list enclosed indoor space; 18 list covered and 22 outdoor spaces. By city: Hot Springs (3; 3 enclosed), Bentonville (2; 2 enclosed), Fayetteville (2; 2 enclosed) and Little Rock (2; 2 enclosed). The most enclosed listings are in Hot Springs (3) and Bentonville (2). None lists climate-controlled units. Listings span 15 cities. Prefer a wind-rated building outside the flood zone.

What should I do with my boat when a hurricane watch is issued in Arkansas?

Move it at once. 19 Arkansas listings list enclosed space; book one before June. Little Rock has 7 months in the water by our rule. NOAA records no hurricane-force winds in Arkansas, so the realistic threat to a boat is a remnant storm's rain. Fayetteville averages 5.9 inches in May, so check the site drains.

Which Arkansas cities have the most boat storage listings?
