Nautical vessel docking and storage system

A nautical vessel docking and storage system attached to a nautical structure and adjacent to a body of water having a water surface, said system comprising:

• a cradle having first and second support elements, each support element having a respective lower portion and proximate and distal side portions extending away from the respective lower portion, proximate and distal side abutments respectively connected to the first and second support elements;
• a vessel securing element connected to said cradle and configured to extend at least in part between the proximate and distal side abutments;
• a respective hinge for and connected to each proximate side portion, each hinge being further connected to the nautical structure;
• and
• a puller connected to the nautical structure, said puller including a puller strap having a first strap end engaged with said puller and a second strap end engaged with said cradle;
• wherein said cradle is configured to pivotally transition from a docking position, in which the lower portions are parallel with the water surface and the proximate side abutment abuts the nautical structure, to a storage position, in which said cradle pivots via the hinges towards the nautical structure such that the distal side abutment is positioned above the proximate side abutment.
