A dock box keeps life jackets, lines, fenders, cushions and fishing gear locked up on the dock beside the boat, so they don’t ride home in the car every trip. These rankings cover boxes sold for docks and slips: the Taylor Made Stow ‘n Go line, Lifetime, RecPro, C&M Marine Products and DoxBox. Patio deck boxes that aren’t sold for marine use, boat hatch boxes and dry boxes are left out.
Material is the first choice. Molded fiberglass with a gelcoat finish is the traditional marina box: stiff and easy to wipe down, and the gelcoat can be buffed or patched. Polyethylene boxes cost half as much or less for the same size, but the plastic is less rigid, so look for a stated UV protection if the box sits in full sun.
Size is the second. Makers rarely publish a storage capacity, so the rankings compare boxes by their exterior volume (width x depth x height). Measure the dock space first, and check the height if the box will sit under a boat’s rub rail or a low canopy. A triangular corner box fits the corner where a finger pier meets the main dock.
The lid decides how pleasant the box is to use. Gas supports hold a heavy fiberglass lid open on their own; stay cables only stop it falling back. If you want to sit on the box, pick one whose maker sells the lid as a seat, since several say not to sit on theirs.
