A nonprofit maritime base on Offatts Bayou with a 39-boat fleet, week-long summer camps and a Saturday learn-to-sail track.

Ages 8–18+
Cost Paid
Duration ~6hrs
Difficulty Moderate
Setting Outdoor

Ten acres on Offatts Bayou with a 39-boat fleet, a marina, a pool and a fully accessible waterfront building, run by a nonprofit youth maritime organization rather than a club. Campers spend a week on small-boat and large-boat sailing, kayaking, paddle sports, fishing, an introduction to scuba, oceanography and marine conservation. The Saturday Youth Sailing program is a recurring learn-to-sail track for ages 8 to 18 rather than a one-week camp, so it suits local families who want to keep at it. Formerly known as Sea Scout Base Galveston, which is still how a lot of people write it.
