Sail into the Boating Capital of Texas
Deemed the "Boating Capital of Texas," the focal point of Bay Area Houston is Clear Lake, a 2,000-acre inlet of Galveston Bay and the third-largest pleasure boat basin in the United States. Yachts, sporting boats and fishing vessels reside in the area's more than 9,000 marina slips. Cruising the waters is a must when visiting the region. Boat tours and charters range from 20-minute, open-deck boat rides to four-hour dinner cruises aboard air-conditioned yachts. Step aboard a schooner for a pirate ship adventure or enjoy a nostalgic voyage on an old-fashioned paddle wheeler. Or try your hand at kayaking miles of tranquil Armand Bayou.
