Kemah Airport Shuttle & Boardwalk Transfers
Kemah's Boardwalk and marina district draw weekend visitors year-round, and its spot on TX-146 puts it 25 miles from the Galveston cruise terminals — some cruisers overnight here instead of on the island. Hobby is about 20 miles northwest.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stay in Kemah before a Galveston cruise?
Yes — Kemah's waterfront hotels are a popular pre-cruise alternative to the island, with the terminals only 25 miles down TX-146 and I-45. Book the morning transfer the night before; it's a 30–40 minute run.
Where do drivers pick up near the Boardwalk?
On busy weekend evenings drivers stage off Bradford Avenue or 6th Street rather than fighting the Boardwalk entrance loop, and message you the exact corner.
