Hinckley

Do Things The Right Way

We start building your boat after you purchase it. It’s built just for you, to your specifications. Half the fun is working directly with our team to specify the engine package, teak options, electronics, canvas and cushions. Once your yacht is delivered to you, we provide three full days of hands-on training so you are fully confident in how to operate each and every system on board.

Building and owning a Hinckley is an unparalleled experienced. Hinckley is unique in owning and operating 10 world-class YachtCare Centers up and down the east coast. Our YachtCare program combines this unrivaled infrastructure with a new mobile service team to deliver an ownership experience like none other. Only Hinckley brings all of this together for an on-the-water experience with family and friends that is uniquely yours.

About Hinckley

The Hinckley Company started in 1928 as the Manset Boatyard in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Henry R. Hinckley’s focus was on servicing the local lobster boats as well as the yachts of summer residents on Mt. Desert Island. In 1933, Henry built his first boat, Ruthyeolyn, a 36-foot fisherman with beautiful lines that are surprisingly familiar and still look the part even today.

Today, Hinckley remains one of the few recreational builders using Carbon composites from bow to stern vacuum-infused with epoxy for incredible strength. We were one of the first American builders to adopt SCRIMP resin infusion and today we remain a world leader. Our single bond infusion allows for an integrated, chemical bond between hull and support structure. With our move to epoxy resin infusion in 2018, we are now building with a resin material of 40% greater strength and improved environmental benefits. We believe so strongly in this approach that we are unique in guaranteeing our hulls and decks for life.
