Loved the castle, the story and the restoration being completed - We recently went for the tour. The boat was efficient and on time for all departures. The castle is magnificent, the restoration work being completed is beautiful. The story of Mr Boldt is compelling and you can live vicariously through the experience. Will go again!

1000 Island tour - Wonderful trip not overwhelmed with the announcements but enough info to get a good education on the area and even though it was raining and overcast it was still a beautiful trip stopping to see the castle was definitely worth it

A nice day touring the area. - The boat is nice and the staff are friendly. Food is expensive. The windows had not been cleaned on the outside in a while. Not a deal breaker but it would make for a better view of the stunning area.

Great Day with Stop at Boldt Castle - We took the 5 hour cruise with stop at Boldt Castle cruise from Gananoque and really enjoyed ourselves. Weather was perfect and staff on this cruise are top notch. The stop at Boldt Castle is about 2 hours and you need every minute of it. If you want to go to the boat house make sure you go there first or you won't have time. We spent 1.5 hours exploring just the house and it's grounds. Information provided as you motor along the water is very interesting. Do yourself a favor and do this tour if you're in the Gananoque area!
