SHENANDOAH

Overview

“SHENANDOAH” (Name Reserved) is a stunning example of the Hinckley MKIII Picnic Boat. The current owner has owned many Hinckley’s and enjoys keeping them in “as new” condition. From replacing numerous systems, varnish stripping, engine room painting, hull paint, and electronics, to a new custom teak transom this boat shows (and runs) like a brand-new Hinckley Picnic Boat. This example spends summers on Nantucket and winters in heated indoor storage in a winter program that consists of all seasonal mechanicals/cosmetics with a dedicated Captain/ Yacht Manager. The Picnic Boat Mark III features powered pilothouse windows and overhead hatches, a modern hull designed for exceptional rough-water performance, and amenities which include a transom door and comfortable seating for 10 in the expansive pilothouse and cockpit area. Please delve into the specifications and pictures to see why “Shenandoah” (name reserved) is such a well-pedigreed yacht.
