Public Boat Ramp Marina

This public boat ramp on 61st Street gives you direct water access right in the heart of Galveston, making it easy to launch without hunting down a private facility. The setting puts you steps from the island's coastal energy, with the Gulf and Galveston Bay both within reach once you're on the water. At just $15 a launch or $300 for an annual pass, it's open seven days a week from 5am to 7pm — a straightforward, no-frills way to get out on the water.
