Whether you're looking to sell your extra boating gear or hunt for hidden treasures, the Boater’s Flea Market is the place to be during the Kemah Boat Crawl!
This relaxed, peer‑to‑peer resale zone is open to clubs and individual boaters who want to bring used equipment, hardware, accessories, and other marine‑related items to sell. It’s also a great spot for buyers to browse unique finds, score deals, and chat with fellow boaters.
🎯 For Sellers:
Free to participate — no booth fees, no registration.
Just show up, claim a spot, and start selling.
Bring your own tables, tents, and display materials.

Chat directly with boaters about the history and use of each item.
Find parts, accessories, and tools at great prices.

Whether you're clearing out your dock box or searching for your next great find, the Boater’s Flea Market is a must‑visit stop on the Boat Crawl map!
🎶 Live Music: The Toucans
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Central Vendor Location – 300 Admiralty Way, Kemah, TX 77565
Make sure your Boat Crawl route includes a stop at the Central Vendor Location in the afternoon — or plan to circle back after you’ve completed the Crawl to enjoy a lively, tropical set from The Toucans!
This husband‑and‑wife duo, featuring Mark Streeter and his wife Carrie, has been performing together since 1999 across the Houston and Galveston Bay Area. Their show blends coastal classics and tropical rhythms, with favorites from Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Van Morrison, Sam Cooke, and more.
Whether you’re winding down your day or just getting started, The Toucans will bring the Gulf Coast vibes to life — the perfect soundtrack for the 2026 Spring Kemah Boat Crawl!
6 Reasons
Why the Boat Crawl Beats a Boat Show
Traditional boat shows cram every boat into one marina or concrete lot, which limits space and the number of boats you can actually see. The Kemah Boat Crawl puts them where they belong — on or near the water, at real marinas, with real dealer teams. 
🆓
It's Completely Free
No tickets to buy, no parking fees, no crowds packed into one marina. Just a relaxed, self-paced day exploring Kemah's waterfront, meeting great people, and discovering everything our boating community has to offer. Pre-registration is encouraged, but not mandatory. Just show up on the day and start exploring. Registering at stops along the way will enter you in various raffles and prizes.
🌊
More Boats, More Brands, More Variety
Because each dealer hosts at their own location, there’s no space limit. That means more inventory, more models, and more chances to compare boats side‑by‑side without the usual boat‑show bottlenecks. Explore a wide selection of trailable boats on land or step aboard in‑water boats in their natural setting — feel the motion, compare layouts, and find what fits your style of boating.
🤝
It's Not Just for Buyers
Even if you’re not shopping for a boat, the Crawl is the perfect place to explore the boating lifestyle. You’ll find:
Sailing schools
Charter companies
Yacht clubs and cruising groups
Marine vendors and services
Nonprofits and community boating programs
The Crawl makes it easy to discover your next step on the water.
đź’°
Event-Only Deals
Dealers roll out exclusive open‑house pricing during the Boat Crawl, with many offering their best prices of the year on both new models and select brokerage listings.
🗺️
All in One Trip
Every participating dealer, vendor, and club is right here in the Kemah–Clear Lake area. You can tour the entire Galveston Bay boat market in a single afternoon — no long drives, no scattered locations, just an easy, efficient day along the water.
👨‍👩‍👧
Family Friendly
A waterfront setting, easy parking, and a relaxed atmosphere make the Boat Crawl perfect for all ages. Bring the whole family — even kids who aren’t into boats will enjoy the bay views and the fun, kid‑focused vendor displays.
