Description

The Hinckley Picnic Boat is one of the most iconic motor yachts ever designed and is synonymous with yachting beautifully. The down east USA styling is matched by its construction, hand built to a quality and not to a price.

This extended pilot house (EP) version of the popular picnic boat, provides additional comfort to the original design with the addition of a J shaped seating arrangement in the pilot house and a cockpit mounted wet bar.

The optioned larger 480HP engine provides effortless cruising at 25 knots and when in docking mode, the jet drive is connected to the bow thruster via the jet stick, providing effortless mooring or anchoring whatever the conditions.

Bubbles was commissioned 2009 by the current owner and has been maintained to the highest standards since her construction. In 2024 the hull and coach roof received new Awlgrip paint, the external varnish was taken back to bare wood and twelve coats of Awlwood varnish were applied along with new antifoul to the underside of the hull.
