Shrink wrapping a boat at Atlantic Boat Repair in Plymouth costs $24 per linear foot, labor included. A 25 ft boat is $600.
That's the number most people are looking for when they search for shrink wrap prices, so we put it first. We've been working on boats in Plymouth since 1986, and we wrap boats for owners across the South Shore and the Cape every fall. Below are a few worked examples, why "labor included" matters when you're comparing quotes, and why most of our winterization customers get the wrap done in the same visit.
What shrink wrap costs by boat length
The math is simple: your boat's length in feet times $24.
| Boat length | Shrink wrap, labor included |
|---|
| 20 ft | $480 |
| 25 ft | $600 |
| 30 ft | $720 |
Those are straight multiplication at $24 per foot. We confirm the total for your boat when we see it, or when you tell us the length and the style of boat. Call (508) 746-3988 and we will give you a firm number.
Why "labor included" matters
A lot of shrink wrap quotes split materials and labor into separate lines. That makes shops hard to compare, because you end up adding pieces together instead of looking at one number. Our $24 per foot already includes the labor, so the per-foot price is the number you're comparing.
Winterize and wrap in the same visit
About 60 percent of our winterization customers have us shrink wrap the boat in the same visit. The reasons are practical:
- One haul. The boat comes out once, not twice.
- One appointment. You're not booking the shop twice during the busiest stretch of the fall.
- The boat goes into winter done. The engine is winterized, the boat is wrapped, and there's nothing left on the list until spring.
If your boat still needs winterizing, mention both when you call and we will line them up together.
When to book shrink wrap in Massachusetts
Our fall season runs from mid-September into early November. The first three weeks of October are the busiest part of it, and that's when most winterization and wrap work gets booked. October dates fill first.
If you want your boat wrapped in October, book now. The earlier you're on the schedule, the more choice you have on the date.
Storing the boat with us
We also offer outdoor boat storage at our yard in Plymouth. Boats stored with us are shrink wrapped, vented, and set on stands for the winter, so the wrap, the winterizing, and the storage can all happen in one place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does per-foot pricing mean for shrink wrap?
It means the price is based on your boat's length. We multiply the length in feet by $24, so a 20 ft boat is $480, a 25 ft boat is $600, and a 30 ft boat is $720. We confirm the total when we see the boat or when you tell us the length and style.
Does the $24 per foot include labor?
Yes. Labor is included in the $24 per linear foot, so there's no separate labor charge to add on top.
Can I get my boat winterized and shrink wrapped at the same time?
Yes, and most of our winterization customers do. About 60 percent of them have the boat wrapped in the same visit, so the boat comes out once and goes into winter finished.
When should I book shrink wrap?
As early as you can. Our season runs from mid-September into early November, and the first three weeks of October are the busiest. Those October dates fill first.
