Welcome to The Boathouse Shelter Island, where waterfront elegance meets relaxed coastal charm. Set on 18 pristine acres in the heart of Shelter Island, The Boathouse is more than a venue, it’s an experience. Designed with a chic yet rustic aesthetic, the space blends original wood beams, soaring open ceilings, exposed stainless-steel details, and statement chandeliers to create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and inviting.
Rich dark wood floors guide you to full accordion doors that open wide to a spectacular 1,600-square-foot waterfront deck. Here, panoramic views become the backdrop to your celebration. The classic blue-and-white striped awning adds timeless nautical character.
And the views? Unforgettable. They steal the show.
