With a 500GRT Master License and advanced certifications like NAUI Rescue Diver, Stephanie has dedicated her career to the maritime industry. Originally from Annapolis, Maryland—America’s sailing capital—her life has revolved around the water, from owning boats to living aboard her own yacht. After successful careers in finance and small business ownership, she transitioned fully to yachting in 2009, combining technical skills with a warm, customer-focused approach.
“My goal is to deliver exceptional technical expertise, customer service, and communication,” Stephanie said. “My team and I are dedicated to maximizing customer time on the water, whether through routine maintenance or complete refits.”
Now residing in Stuart, Florida, with her husband and dog, Stephanie also enjoys visits from her two grown children.
Hinckley’s Stuart yard continues to solidify its reputation as a leader in premium yacht services. Now a Mercury Marine dealership, the yard offers an expanded range of high-performance engine sales and services. Additionally, a state-of-the-art Category 5 building is under construction, set to open in June 2025, increasing capacity for world-class storage and service.
Hinckley’s success and ongoing investments also create opportunities to join its growing team. The Stuart yard is expanding its crew by nearly 20% in the next year and is actively seeking top marine tradespeople and craftsmen to join the industry’s best team.
“Hinckley’s Stuart yard is a trusted destination for discerning yacht owners,” Stephanie added. “With the new Mercury dealership and the upcoming Category 5 building, we’re raising the bar for excellence. I’m excited to lead and grow this talented team as we deliver unparalleled service to our customers.”
