Local Boating Context
Boat removal in Kemah
Kemah is on Galveston Bay near Clear Lake, in waters where abandoned and sunken boats have been piling up. Next door in Seabrook, on May 28, 2026, the Texas General Land Office, Harris County Precinct 2 and Dead Boats Society removed an abandoned 24-foot sailboat near Clear Lake Park, and Precinct 2 plans to remove five boats in 2026. The GLO has no dedicated funding for removals and works with nonprofits to pay for them. Dead Boats Society says removal normally costs $8,000 to $20,000 per boat. If you own a boat you no longer want, you don't have to wait for a public program. Send photos and we'll give you a firm price, and you get a receipt and a disposal record when it's done.
