One of the most popular rides is the 140 passenger speedboat called "Boardwalk Beast". The "Beast" is a 70 foot open-deck speedboat that takes passengers out into Galveston bay for a wild, wet 25 minute ride at speeds up to 40 mph. Riders should be aware that they will get wet, possibly soaked as the "Beast" performs high-speed turns out in the Bay. The "Beast" season is from around Spring Break until about Thanksgiving.

 On a sad note the boat we use to take so many of the pictures on Kemah.net was lost. to Hurricane Ike. Celebration the 42'
Catalina was a huge part of our life. She sank in the
harbor at LYC. It feels like a death in our family. story here

I Remember hurricane Alicia Aug 18th 1983!

Kemah.Net - Kemah,TX,USA

This little cat 3 storm with 115mph winds   killed 21 people and did 1.2 billion dollars in damage, with a 14 ft storm surge.90% of Dwellings on Jamaica beach were destroyed the Seabrook and Kemah flats looked like ground zero. Houston highrise glass buildings sustained heavy damage. Kemah.Net webmaster Claire Durkee Worthington road this one out on board our 56 ft boat at the Seabrook Shipyard but "never again. I servived the storm and  the bad guys did come in smal boats as soon as the wind died down.  Before law was restored and before  than Chief of Police Bill  Kerber and his officers could even get back in the Seabrook Shipyard,  I  had to rack the action on my shotgun more than once. Yes, it really is the international language!"  Advice: Be safe  evacuate.
