Boldt-Castle-Sun
In 1904, construction was well underway on the 120 room castle when tragedy struck. A telegraph arrived at the Castle announcing the death of George C. Boldt’s wife, Louise. Three hundred artisans and craftsmen were commanded to stop all construction.  A broken-hearted Boldt never returned to the Island. Today, an ongoing major restoration is underway to stabilize and restore this magnificent piece of Island history.

This extraordinary structure, built in 1903, was originally designed to shelter the luxurious yachts and houseboats of millionaire George C. Boldt. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of the Gilded Age, featuring soaring wooden beams, beautifully restored vintage boats, and captivating stories of Boldt’s vision and legacy. With its picturesque location and architectural splendor, the Yacht House is a must-visit destination for history buffs, boating enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable experience.
