Starting the cruise at 11 am, we joined a 2 hour cruise from Rockport harbor. The main attraction on the cruise is the Bold Castle. You will also see numerous of lovely spots on the cruise.
You may chose a cruise were you are allowed to enter the island where Boldt Castle is located, but then you are entering US territory. You should bring passport and fill out the visa form. We didn't. To much work for us, so we joined the 2 hour cruise.
Boldt Castle was constructed by George C. Boldt, who was a Prussian immigrant who made his fortune in the hotel industry, managing luxurious hotels like the New York Waldorf-Astoria. (He invented many modern hotel concepts, and his chef originated the Thousand Islands salad dressing.) He was building the castle for his wife, but when she died suddenly, he halted all work on the castle and never returned to the island. The 120-room castle was derelict from 1904 to 1977, when it was acquired by the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority and opened to tourists. The castle and the area is beautiful. I think it is best for the picture to tell it's own story.
