Port of Port Mansfield

From coastal charm to commercial growth — The Port of Port Mansfield welcomes visitors, vision, and investment.

⚓ The Mansfield Cut is one of South Texas's most iconic waterways — connecting the Laguna Madre to the Gulf of Mexico and opening the door to world-class offshore fishing. Navigate it smart. Navigate it safe.

🧭 WATERWAY RULES TO KNOW:
• Observe no-wake zones near docks, piers, and boat launches • Display navigation lights from sunset to sunrise and in low visibility
• Yield to commercial vessels and larger boats with limited maneuverability
• Slow down in channels — your wake affects every boat and shoreline nearby
Respect the waterway and everyone on it. The water belongs to all of us. 🐟

🧡 The Laguna Madre is calling — redfish, trout, flounder, and open water as far as you can see. Before you cast your first line, make sure everyone on board is protected.

🦺 LIFE JACKET SAFETY — KNOW THE LAW:
• Texas requires all children under 13 to wear a USCG-approved PFD while underway • Every person aboard must have an approved life jacket available
• Inflatable PFDs must be WORN — not stored — to count toward safety requirements
• When in doubt, wear it. Drowning can happen in seconds.

Our waters are beautiful. Our fishing is world-class. Help us keep everyone safe out there. 🌊
