boldt yacht house

was surprised how nice the boathouse is- I originally saw this place on TV and U can see how the rich arrived to the island- lots of money spent to entice them- must see

George Boldt may not have been able to bring his wife to the Boldt Castle, but he did collect and use his boat house regularly. Even today the yachts and racing boats in his boat house, itself a small castle, are in ship shape condition, waiting for the clarion call of racing. The Boldt Yacht house and its racing fleet are a delight, reminding us of the care and love of its master.

You are able to tour the whole Island and Castle on your own, just don't miss the boat back! There is a snack place at the dock, too. Just in case you want a drink, food or Ice cream!! We have been here twice and will go back.....Sad story of the castle, But totally Amazing!!

Not a whole lot to see here, but it is a great way to get to the castle. While waiting for the ferry to the castle you can kinda peak in and see all that you really would want to or need to. Drive to the yacht house, pay to tour the castle, and peak in the door here. I wouldnt pay to tour it if you drove to it, just take the ferry!

The Boldt Yacht House is lovely and Wellesley Island is a nice drive around. diane B, London, On , Can

The antique boats were fascinating. The Yacht House is on a separate island from the Castle on Heart Island, which requires a short boat excursion.

A magnificent structure and display of some of the yachts used in the day. It's a house for boats bigger than some hotels today. Very well preserved.

The staff was wonderful in explaining boats, area, and history. They were more than willing to talk to you even though the tour was self-guided

Don't miss out on this added perk! Wonderful collection of antique boats and interesting trip into the past. Pack your camera!

We'll worth visiting. Nice collection of antique boats, beautiful architecture and a nice visit to the past.

pack a lunch, drinks and your camera, then take the ferry across to the Castle. The grounds are lovely, the castle nice to explore. This is a great way to spend the day. We took two 3 yr olds and 2 2 yr olds and had so much fun!

boats and docks are restored like they were brand new the engineering of the dock lifts are amazing well worth the admission and boat ride over from boldt castle

This is worth your time in NNY... you will go back in time and hear the history of boldt castle amazing and sad. The rooms are beautiful. It is hard to imagine living in that era, building this magnificent castle minus the tools we have today. You will enjoy the boat tour and seeing how the other half lives.

This is WELL worth the time and trip! The work that has occurred after 75 years of abandondment is REMARKABLE. You can see work in progress which is interesting also. MAKE SURE TO BUY THE COMBO TICKET WHICH INCLUDES THE BOATHOUSE!!

Absolutely exquisite! Do not miss the chance to visit, after visiting Boldt Castle! In my opinion, it's worth the added charge as I adore the architecture! The vintage boats on display are lovely, and perfect if time is an issue. We planned to visit the antique boat museum a half hour away, but didn't want to rush the day.
