If you’ve got a house and boat in  Seadrift or Port O’Connor and you’re not quite sure how to run the bays and back marsh safely, you’re not alone. These waters are beautiful — but they can also be tricky if you don’t know the routes, tides, and bottom structure.

That’s where we come in. At Castaway Lodge, we’ll hop aboard your boat or ours and spend the day showing you the safest and most efficient ways to navigate your home waters. From learning how to cross a shallow bay flat to reading the cuts, drains, and shorelines that lead to your favorite fishing spots — you’ll gain the confidence to run it all on your own in any kind of weather.

Whether you’re new to the area or just want to explore a few new routes, we’ll make sure you know how to enjoy a safe, worry-free day on the water with your friends and family. The more comfortable you are behind the wheel, the more fun you’ll have chasing those reds and exploring the Texas coast.

Contact Castaway Lodge today to schedule your private Boat Safety & Navigational Trip — and start running the bays like a local.
