Water Sports

Sailing | Palacios Yaht Club 

“We invite you to our home waters of Matagorda Bay. Located midway between Galveston and Corpus Christi, we enjoy the best-kept secret on the Texas coast. Open water sailing, excellent fishing, and some of the finest people you will ever find.”

The waters are never crowded, but on a sunny day you may see a sailboat or two, a couple of jet skis, someone windsurfing or kite-sailing, or perhaps a family on kayaks. The Palacios bayfront is the perfect place for water activities of all kinds.
