Boating in Texas: Galveston Bay and the Lakes

Of the 831 boats and yachts for sale in Texas on YachtBazar today, the median asking price is $51,900. By type, the most-listed here are powerboats (398), wake & ski boats (133) and bass boats (61). That mix reflects where Texans actually keep their boats: mostly on inland lakes and reservoirs rather than a long natural coastline, which favors runabouts, ski boats and bass boats over sailboats and dedicated fishing boats.

Many of the state's listing towns fall into two groups. Kemah, Houston, Hitchcock and League City all sit on or near Galveston Bay, Texas's main saltwater boating hub, home to the Houston Ship Channel and a large recreational and sportfishing fleet with straightforward Gulf of Mexico access. Montgomery is inland, on Lake Conroe northwest of Houston — one of many Texas reservoir lakes (Lake Travis, Lake Texoma and Lake Conroe among the largest) that host most of the state's lake-boat culture: wakeboard and ski boats, pontoons and bass boats, far from saltwater. Farther south, Corpus Christi and South Padre Island are the state's other Gulf-access points, closer to the Mexican border than to Houston.

Conroe, Montgomery, Austin, Lewisville and Seabrook carry the most listings statewide.
