Duluth Boat Club

Park Point Marina Inn sits on the historic site of the legendary Duluth Boat Club—once the most prestigious private club in Minnesota and the largest water club in North America with over 1,400 members. In the early 1900s, Duluth was the fastest-growing city in America, a bustling frontier port, and home to more millionaires per capita than any other U.S. city.

We’ve designed the Inn to reflect this golden era. Our architecture and interiors draw inspiration from 1909 photographs of the Boat Club’s dining and pool areas. The Harbor Cove Lounge features reclaimed 100-year-old wood from the St. Louis River and a striking mural of the Boat Club in its prime.

In partnership with the St. Louis County and Minnesota Historical Societies, we preserve this rich heritage—offering guests a unique blend of history, comfort, and lakeside beauty.

Our Location

Park Point Marina Inn is located only a few blocks from Duluth’s iconic Aerial Lift Bridge, offering unbeatable views of the harbor. Set on historic Park Point—the world’s longest freshwater sandbar—our waterfront location blends natural beauty with rich maritime history.

We’re steps from the U.S. Coast Guard station, minutes from Duluth’s first lighthouse, and right where the village of Park Point began in 1881. Ships still pass through the canal daily, just like they did when the Edmund Fitzgerald sailed from this very port.

Green Policies

At Park Point Marina Inn, environmental responsibility is at the heart of what we do. Nestled on the shores of the world’s largest freshwater lake, we are committed to preserving the natural beauty of Duluth Harbor through thoughtful, sustainable practices.

To reduce energy use, we’ve installed motion sensors in public restrooms, hallways, and guest rooms, saving over 30% of power when rooms are unoccupied. Our “Black is the New Green” program reduces linen waste, while biodegradable products are used for our Breakfast Buffet. Rainwater runoff is carefully managed to protect Lake Superior’s clarity.

From the ground up, Park Point Marina Inn is designed with sustainability in mind—offering our guests a comfortable, eco-conscious stay on the beautiful harbor we’re proud to call home.
