“The Hinckley Way”: 100 Years of Elegance and Excellence

Since 1928, when Henry R. Hinckley founded The Hinckley Company at Manset Boatyard in Southwest Harbor, Maine, the name “Hinckley” has become synonymous with elegance and distinction. The Hinckley Company has always held its work to the highest standards, “doing things the right way”, from when it first began as a small boatyard repairing lobster boats and summer residents’ yachts, to today as it continues to handcraft boats of superior quality and unmatched beauty. Here at Chesapeake Classic Yacht Charters, we also seek to embody “The Hinckley Way” of elegance and excellence with each and every charter. Our 2000 36” Hinckley Picnic Boat Proud Mary has been meticulously maintained over the past 25 years and continues to sport luxurious features and gleaming brightwork. Our captain not only takes great pride in maintaining Proud Mary, but also in catering to our customers with utmost attention to detail. Each charter is curated to the unique desires of our customers, offering a pleasurable and memorable experience on the water. We hope that you’ll join us this season and experience for yourself what “The Hinckley Way” of elegance and excellence are all about!
