The tale begins in 1933, when Arthur Rowe, yacht captain to prominent Sarasota businessmen John Ringling and William Selby, commissioned renowned boat builder Oliver Blackburn to craft these unique residences. The historically designated Boathouse and Lighthouse were born, each with its own captivating story.
The story goes that Rowe, who ran away from home as a teenager to become a sailor, was hired by John Ringling in 1910 to captain his luxury boat, Arvida. He served as Ringling's captain until 1921 and later for Selby before retiring to his dream home—a livable boat on land.
