About the Company

The Hinckley Company

Builds and services luxury yachts

Hinckley designs and builds high-end power and sailing yachts and backs them with a comprehensive owner care network. Their ships range from classic models like the Bermuda 40 to the Picnic Boat, made with careful craftsmanship and attention to performance. The company operates ten YachtCare centers from Maine to Florida, offering service, refits, transportation, and storage, ensuring ongoing support for owners. YachtCare and a hands-on ownership experience distinguish Hinckley from builders that sell boats without nationwide aftercare. The business also broadens its lineup through selective acquisitions, having bought Hunt Yachts in 2013 and Morris Yachts in 2016. Hinckley’s goal is to provide a premier ownership experience by combining enduring, high-quality yachts with a full-service ecosystem that preserves and elevates American yachting.
