Known for its innovation of the yachting world, Hinckley has developed such technologies as the JetStick and Dual Guard composite material along with being the pioneer of the fiberglass hull. Currently, Hinckley is operating in seven locations across the United States, making it one of the largest manufacturers of custom, luxury yachts in the United States. Hinckley’s present yacht line includes seven powerboats ranging in size from 29 to 55 feet and seven sailing vessels offered in lengths from 42 to 70 feet. Similar to yachts built by Sabre Yachts, Ellis Boat Company, and Lyman Morse Boatbuilding, all of Hinckley’s yachts are handcrafted and semi-custom built to suit users’ desires. Semi-custom yachts use a production hull with extensive customization of the interior, deck and rig as required by the purchaser.
