For wedding parties, we set aside a block of tickets for their guests to pick up on the day of the ceremony.

The discounted rates of - $5 for guests aged 13 and older and - $2.50 for children ages 4 to 12 years of age will apply. Children 3 and under are free.
  • PRIVATE CHARTER: Uncle Sam Boat Tours can provide a double decked vessel capable of seating a maximum of 150 passengers in good weather and 100 passengers should inclement weather prevail. This option allows everyone to be transported at one time over to Boldt Castle and back. The charter fee is - $800 round-trip. There is one trip over and one trip back. If guests wish to get to the castle earlier than the established departure time, they could take our regularly scheduled castle shuttle at the rates quoted above. Double decked charter vessels can pick up and drop off at Bonnie Castle Resort, Riveredge Resort, Edgewood Resort, Pine Tree Point Resort and the T.I.
