The Hinckley Picnic Boat
When we started the company, we needed a yacht that could take a group of people out on the water for some swimming, entertaining, relaxing, maybe some fishing or tubing. The yacht needed to be glorious, comfortable, safe and stable. Fortunately for us, these requirements led us to only one boat - the Hinckley Picnic Boat. Built by the Hinckley Company, based in Southwest Harbor, Maine, Picnic Boats are fiberglass downeast-style lobster boats powered by a jet drive rather than propeller. The yacht boasts handmade mahogany and teak wood decking, rails, cabinetry and more. Both the manufacturing and power systems are state of the art on the Picnic Boat.
