Try Legendary Marine in Destin at the foot of the mid-bay bridge.
We have a friend that stores there - I beleive it was around $10.00 a foot per month for in and out (This was a couple of years ago)
Other than a regular storage unit, there is not a dry boat storage unit anywhere other than Legendary in this area. Perhaps over in PC.redfisher said:
There was a place called "Wildman's" (Wildmon's - ??) run by a guy named Dave Wildmon on 331 with a launch into Mallet Bayou. I don't know if he is still in business or not.
Take 331 north about six or eight miles past the Choctawhatchee Bay. He is on the left just north of Mallet Bayou Rd. If you pass Lagrange Rd. you've gone too far.

Does or did he have dry storage units for boats?SlowMovin said:
He did, but it wasn't a huge facility. I think there were covered units similar to standard, metal-building storage units. Some of the people just parked them on trailers and put boat covers over them. There was no in-water storage (i.e. no docks or pilings to tie up to).Smiling JOe said:
That area of the bayou tends to be shallow, even during the summer. You need a boat with very little draft. Sailboats had better have the removable type keel.
I haven't seen any boats coming from that end of the bayou for awhile, so I'm wondering if he's still around. I should probably stop in sometime. I spoke to him briefly once--he seemed like a good guy.
