Make it Galveston
The most protected deep water on the Texas coast, ten minutes from the Gulf and steps from the island
Your home base on Offatts Bayou
Concrete floating docks built for sixty-foot sportfish and up, with wide fairways, deep water and light wave action in the natural yachting hub of Galveston Island. Gated, staffed and a short walk from dinner.
The new docks
Rebuilt after the storm in four phases, with wider fairways, new power pedestals and more room for the big boats on the outside. Phase I is open now.
White-glove, not white-knuckle
Call ahead and it's handled before you tie up. Everything a marina resort should have, run by people who know the bayou.
