The best places to store a Seabob on a yacht can be in a tender garage, on the swim platform/bathing platform, or mounted to the bulwark or a handrail using specialised fittings.
Considerations:
- Security - Ensure the Seabob is securely fastened to prevent it from moving around while underway, as the marine environment can be harsh.
- Environment - Store the Seabob in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight or closed spaces that can get excessively hot (above 60°C or 140°F), as this can damage the battery.
- Accessibility - Choose a location that is easily accessible for the crew to retrieve and return the unit, especially during guest use.
Permanent Seabob Storage Solutions:
Seabob Rack:
A great way of stowing Seabob/s and utilising vertical space and preventing damage.

Seabob Safety Case:
Specialist Seabob safety cases, some of which feature rotating doors or telescopic drawers, can be installed in a locker or other suitable space. These cases provide a high level of protection and can even be designed to filter harmful gases during a potential battery fire, though this is primarily for safety during charging/storage.
