Lighthouses have long been seen as symbols of guidance, hope and strength, and for those who love local history and seek a lodging experience that is truly in a class by itself, the Jolly Captain Lighthouse in Yarmouth should not be missed. 

Working alongside his father for years, Paul Mazzola grew up in the building industry. He founded GCI Builders after his father’s passing, and has taken the company from a specialty framing business to a full-service, high-end custom design-build firm. When Mazzola heard of a boat dock on Bass River that was up for sale, it caught his attention. Imagine his surprise when he realized the slip came along with a dilapidated lighthouse on the same parcel. Immediately recognizing its potential, and undaunted by the obvious challenges that would accompany such a unique endeavor, Mazzola purchased the property and began a passion project, guided by a clear vision and with the support of his team and family.
