Most "standard" bikes will get rusty in a boating environment.
I would suggest that you look at the DAHON Mariner D8 folding bike (with aluminum alloy frame).
We have been using our DAHON Mariner bikes since 2012 without any rust issues. Ours are stored in DAHON bags under our salon, however we are in Connecticut in a saltwater environment. We also take them to condo on the beach in Hollywood Florida (in our car) for the winter.

Hi Everyone,
We have been carrying bikes on the deck lately, They get pretty rusty due to the salt water/air. Has anyone had any luck reducing the rust? We have tried covering the bikes and putting them in bags, but that doesn’t seem to help much.
