The marina, located on the north side of Offatts Bayou, a long-standing natural yachting hub for Galveston, is the newest and one of the most upscale in Texas. Pelican Rest Marina, billed by the owner as the "Gateway to Galveston," is a part of a multi-use high end marina complex in the center of a growing and vibrant area in Galveston. The new marina serves as a social and commercial hub and destination for boaters along the entire Gulf Coast. The marina site, scoured by Hurricane Ike and left riddled with debris, has been transformed into an inviting lush manicured and landscaped tropical showpiece with a wide variety of palms, tropical plants and flowers, a stunning new fountain and private pool and well laid hard-scape paths. After only a few minutes on the site, visitors are delighted with the frequently visiting brown pelicans looking for fish, resting on a piling, or going for a leisurely flight around the bayou and understand how the owner's coined the name.Pelican Rest Marina is a state-of-the-art concrete floating SHOREMASTER system that is designed to house 60' and larger class sport fishing yachts. "From the beginning, the vision of the owner was clear; build the best marina possible," says Bryce Fisher, SHOREMASTER Regional Sales Manager. SHOREMASTER working with local marine engineer Marcus Michna, Principal and President of Shelmark Engineering LLC, designed the marina to be functional for boats over 100' with wide walkways and fingers, expantial room to maneuver within the marina footprint and overflow room for larger vessels on the perimeter. Pelican Rest members and visitors have access to deep water slips and accommodation for mega yachts, transient dockage for overnight stays, an industry leading fire protection system, potable water and 30, 50, 100, and 200 amp electrical service along with 460V - 3 Phase. The new fuel dock offers gasoline and diesel. Pelican Rest Marina is the most protected deep water marina in Texas. Our slips are as follows:
