Review:
The Boldt Yacht House on Wellesley Island is the main dependency to the Boldt Castle and was built in 1903. Visitors can take the free shuttle boat from Heart Island.
The yacht house used to house the Boldt’s family yachts and enormous houseboat. The slips are 128 feet long. Massive bay doors on the decorative facade offer access to the river.
The 64-foot yacht house featured a shop that used to build racing launches and had quarters for staff and crew.
The Yacht House holds a collection of antique wooden boats, some on loan from the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton NY and some from the original Boldt fleet. It also features a 1892 Steam Yacht.
