Galveston Bay Cruising Destinations
Galveston Bay offers great benefits to the boating community. Galveston Bay is 30 miles long and 17 miles wide with an average depth of 7 feet to 9 feet. Being an estuary, we have a unique variety of destinations, from the anchorage of Redfish Island to the secluded shores of Double Bayou. The Bacliff/San Leon shoreline offers a nice anchorage that is pretty well protected. Smith Point and Topwater Grill are a short sail from the San Leon shoreline. Both have docking facilities and restaurants that serve excellent food. Galveston is a short cruising and docking at the Harbor House Marina, offers access to the Strand area and the anchorage at Offats Bayou has access to Moody Gardens.
