boathouse

Lakeside vessel storage

A boathouse is a structure built at the water's edge for storing boats.

Boathouses range from simple sheds to elaborate buildings with living quarters above: The old boathouse had fallen into disrepair.

College rowing programs often use boathouses as headquarters for their teams.
