The Southwest Harbor yard is at the heart of the Hinckley legend. It began in 1928 as a small service yard and today ranks as a world-class service facility. The Hinckley Southwest Harbor yard attracts a local, national, and international community of yachtsmen who want their boats to have the highest level of care and service.
From boat painting to fiberglass fabrications for refits, to boat canvas and upholstery, marine diesel service and rigging, all the marine services and trades are standing by for you and your boat.
Hinckley now also operates a Northeast Harbor facility to offer slips for vessels up to 80 feet and a complete service and repair yard at the coveted entrance to Acadia National Park. Our Northeast Harbor yard is ideally situated for cruising boaters with access to many local restaurants, provisioning services, tennis courts, showers, laundry facilities, fuel, and pump-out services.
Yacht refits of all shapes and sizes are our specialty. The Hinckley yard shares resources with our nearby Hinckley production facility so we can bring extraordinary expertise to bear including engineering of on board systems or help and advice with design changes. If you are planning a yacht refit, talk to us. We have over 95 years of experience to share.
