Rated by U.S. Recreational Boating Industry

Texas is the #2 state for boating based on annual expenditures for new powerboats, motors, and accessories.  Discover Boating, a non-profit awareness program of the industry identified Corpus Christi as the best spot in Texas for getting off the dock this summer.
