Hinckley Yachts is a US semi-custom builder at Southwest Harbor, Maine, founded in 1928 by Benjamin B. Hinckley; his son Henry R. Hinckley took control in 1932. An early adopter of fiberglass construction, the yard built the Bermuda 40 sailing yacht and is best known for the jet-drive Picnic Boat with JetStick control. Hinckley builds and services luxury sail and power yachts and remains based in Maine, with the founder family’s name still on the brand.
