£750,000 Yacht Tour : 2001 Hinckley 44

[@jimwhitaker4327]

You are that gentleman, beautiful boat.

[@illya7]

What a sweetheart of a boat!Justthe thing for pootling down the coast

[@briansmith1029]

Lovely classy boat nick

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

She is in better shape than I am. I absolutely love that wood finish throughout. Really add class and elegance to her. She is one to be proud of. As always Nick thank you for taking us on a tour of her

[@bluesynergy8063]

Amazing boat

[@joecartwright9221]

Sweet boat ❤️

[@hollywoodzzz]

Like that a lot would be ideal for the loop

[@andy3127]

To put the price into context this is about £2.5m ($3m) new. The finish on these boats are spectacular, you are paying for quality. However if I was looking for boat from the early 2000s for me I'd be choosing either a Princess V50 for an open-top, a Sunseeker Camargue 50 as convertible open-top or a Princess 50 Flybridge all with far greater accommodation space and for around the £200,000 to £300,000 mark.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

But a massive amount of upkeep and repair. Hit that 15 year age mark where interiors and electrickery are really hitting their bottom level. Not bad boats, but depending on the previous owners whether you are looking to empty your wallet on upgrades and necessary age related repairs. Said the man who’s just had two new engine mounts fitted on a 425hp diesel inboard. Engineer’s done a great job and you can see nothing…. Not a hint of expenditure, just a hole in your wallet!

[@thenorthwatch777]

It's normal for us humans to have nostalgia of the days gone by. But when you see such old school craftsmanship then the nostalgia is worth it. Magnificent wood work.

[@patrickbrookings]

Wow, that's a real beauty!!! Such a classic look indeed, especially with all the woodwork.

[@danielamazing3264]

Beautiful construction, what an amazing boat! Brilliant tour thanks Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@cbrusharmy]

Hinkley make the most gorgeous ladies on the water.

[@scottrippon5039]

Hi Nick. Drop dead gorgeous boat. Love love love. To hell with the guests... Haha ....bow rail would be nice for those afternoons when you've had a G n T or two.... Cheers. 🍸🍸

[@robertseaman2254]

That’s so beautiful nick ,I would love one reminds me of the English duchy boats

[@flacjacket]

There is one of these with the glass bulkhead moored next to my grandfathers boat, it's the most beautiful boat in the bay.

[@yopuivideo]

Gentleman cruiser indeed. They call him "The Commodore" he drives a vintage Jaaag.

[@KevLaj]

Nick, are there efficiency benefits from jets over shaft drives?

[@stephensalt6787]

What a classic, a water born Audrey Hepburn. One of the nicest stylish boats you’ve featured in my opinion.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

That boat is unbelievable, Nick. I grew up in Rhode Island in the late 1950s, early 1960s, and those boats were all over Narragansett bay, Block Island, Long Island Sound, and Martha's Vineyard. The wood work in the boat is absolutely amazing. They are built like tanks, and can take that North Atlantic weather. As a son of New England, it makes me proud to see such craftsmanship built into these boats.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Lovely comment! My home port was Essex, CT, and Hinkleys were some of the best boats for serious cruisers and offshore fishermen. This classic beauty evokes many happy memories of cruising New England and Long Island waters.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Really liked that Nick. In my dream, I would live in Kingswear and keep this in the Marina as a dayboat/weekender (trips to Salcombe, Fowey, Falmouth, Helford). Only gripe, I would expect high quality stainless steel surround hatches rather than the cheap looking Aluminium ones fitted here ....being picky!

[@SeanSoraghan]

I likehaving a seperate toilet an shower make ut more flexible

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Can we have a sea trial and a manoeuvring challenge to cap it all off 👍🏻👍🏻

[@loki7441]

Beautiful, classic quality. I want one!

[@BrassMtn]

As a Mainer I approve lol

[@clifbradley]

I think Nick is in love! Lol. Nothing could replace Smugglers Blues though.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Not so much replace as supplant (sounds so much more delicate) in the owners’ hearts.

[@rexpayne7836]

Gorgeous and classy,who could want more.😊

[@jamesellsworth9673]

ALL a couple needs; nothing they don't need.

[@kevinsimm2063]

I note maggie has best seat on boat vino & champers ....

[@alexnutcasio936]

Beautiful boat, but L $750k, LOL. It’s 2.5 decades old. Someone’s getting nicked if they pay $750 for that.

[@nicbennett6554]

Totally agree - for similar money you could get a 2007 Zeelander 44, or 2018 Windy 46, or 2019 Galeon 470 Skydeck or….. lots of choice!

[@dougdavis8986]

How much is a new one?

[@colinmitchell9212]

Love the Cherry Wood interior but the whole boat is old school and seems over priced.

[@andy3127]

About £2.5m ($3m) for a new one

[@dougdavis8986]

@@andy3127 so $750k is a pretty good deal.

[@James-gf9jl]

No hull windows equals purity of line.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Her shear is a thing of beauty too.

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

I think I saw one in a Marion Davis film from the 1920's "The Patsy" (Paramount 1928)

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Thanks for the tip, going to search for that, love classic films!

[@adamobrien12]

Not wanting to be a pedant but shouldn't the spelling of "Hinckley" on the video title include a "c" as shown in the brochure at 2:34? Love your videos, no further complaints from me.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Good point, well made! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jkennett9104]

Have to agree a very good looking boat

[@marksavage1818]

What a beautiful classy boat ❤

[@michaellennox7801]

Beautiful boat nick.

[@richborgo]

You guys have your widebody and narrow boats, we got the down east boats. I'll take ours. Thanks nick.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

❤️🛥️❤️

[@bogey361]

If you told me that was a retrofitted yacht from the 60s or 70s, I'd believe it. You're right definitely doesn't look 22 yrs old.

[@lucyf9034]

Pretty? Yes, but really expensive. After years here, nothing beats the cost/benefit of that Versace one for 3.9M. THAT was crazy cheap.

[@jailcop064]

She's very pretty indeed.

[@marchport]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@nicbennett6554]

Beautiful yacht with some classic lines and style. I do love jet drives, so easy to manoeuvre. If I had that budget, doubt I’d get this though. Too many other options!

[@alexanderjbeeston8580]

She's a right beauty

[@bill8784]

Beautiful boat. Reminds me of 1960s style boats one might see in a Bond film. Would prefer the more enclosed version were I in the market.

[@davebuts1921]

She is a stunning boat.

[@tedtheturbot]

Mate what a thing. I'll have the glass partition option. Dare say the cost will be prohibitive, but i'll be robbing a bank either way so might as well get the whole lot, they can arrest me in style :) Such a smart idea to build a retirement toy. The yesteryear lines and materials, it's like everything below deck is one giant captains cabin. And not too expensive.

[@gearyman777]

wicked nice boat

[@bruceblais7958]

That's nice it's from my home state I love the woodwork how shiny I'm going to have to check that factory out one day

[@debbiejudd4933]

Great for a day run with small kifs ir the elderly. Theres so much space fot seating in the back.

[@MrVi-qs3md]

Beautiful 😍 boat Wow🙏❤️🇮🇱🥰

[@willemran345]

Please do a model from Zeelander in the future. Looks to be slightly inspired by this

[@jitendratiwari6721]

Small boat good luck

[@steveprice7130]

I love the squeaking creaking of the wood

[@jaffaholland4039]

Stunning

[@sk49kk98]

I like the latch for the cabinet being on the inside so when something in the cabinet falls and hits it everything falls out. Fine engineering

[@Samaldoful]

Stunning! Reflected in price tho 😮

[@paulcunningham2859]

Nice

[@gunarslodzins]

One of the most beautiful boats I've seen. Love it! That's a goal when I cant ride motorcycle anymore :)

[@PHILCHUDS]

Looks a bit dodgy sorting the anchor gear if its a bit rough. Nothing to hold on at all !

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Quick fix though

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Very nice boat! Thanks for the tour! 👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍

[@paulgolding1009]

Perfect for river Dart and Solent cruising. A timeless classic, nice for a retired couple to go cruising around the south coast of the U.K.

[@zagrepcanin82]

will you be at Biograd boat show?it is on and will be till 29.10.

[@alistairkeppler2225]

For that price and what it offers, I would rather buy your boat.

[@johngolini332]

Love Hinckleys! Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard are chock full of 'em. They don't exactly give them away, you know.

[@Sarrienne]

I often comment on how an interior just looks like a fancy Italian hotel suite, instead of feeling like you're actually on a boat... THIS Hinkley is what it's like on a boat! Needs a mirror, though... can't get The Wave in without one!

[@weloveboating]

Love this classic look, reminds me of Palm Beach Yachts….. a real gentleman’s boat - great video Nick

[@themanwithnoname2666]

I binge watch your videos ,love them👍.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Yay! Thank you!

[@jamesmclellan6301]

Cracking boat. Would love one but need to decide which child to sell first. Great tour yet again Nick. Ta V much.

[@RupertBear412]

Nick, this one is the first one that I've seen where I can picture you and Marianne having a great time!

[@RudeJags]

I really love lobster style boats and Hinckley are right up there on quality. Thank you Nick for showing us around this beauty.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

The lines. The layout. The colors. Floating art... Thanks to all involved in sharing this and Nick (I'll edit tat out).

[@captcav767]

Bit too much wood for me, but she's a beauty for sure

[@bryanmcgrath8214]

I've never known about these, but it blows me away that I saw one being towed down the highway yesterday and you have the video today!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No way! 😃

[@TheMVCoho]

A boat that looks exactly like a boat should! Classic and Class.

[@MikiLund]

I remember MBY wrote about one with a triple waterjet setup some 15-20 years ago, still remember that one so clearly.

[@Emir_hakan50]

👏👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@MrSpleenboy]

The shape of the hull, pilot house and the walkways on the side put me in mind of a pilot boat, kind of like the Dale or Aquastar boats you've toured in the past, but all luxuried up. She's in such good condition that it is truly amazing to think that she's 22 years old

[@markomarten]

I’m amazed at the quality of the wood and its condition, personally I prefer teak but this is truly superb. The layout is simple but works very well, to me having a separate shower and head is a mixed blessing. I don’t know what the current options are but I think they have a classic design and there’s almost nothing wrong with it, I thought the wheel on the helm seemed odd but that’s probably just me. A second cabin is certainly something to consider but the ability to make it fit in and work well without any issues is a challenge. No matter how you look at it this is a fine vessel and will bring many hours of enjoyment at sea.

[@petercawley8444]

That's a beautiful boat. Good size to be comfortable for a couple or a small family.

[@Kim_Jensen]

Lovely and cozy classic yacht, and the woodwork is just lovely 😀 Its all about classic love on this one😆 Thanks 😀

[@Bob8091]

What a glorious boat. Uncluttered and visually pleasing by its quality and simplicity. I loved the reassuring creaks in the cabin. What were they thinking putting the flowers and bottles on the table? A bit like plastering makeup all over the Venus Demilo. As ever thanks for the tour Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@DrCrabfingers]

I totally love it!! Utterly superb vessel, expensive, but superb. Thanks Nick.

[@tuvia4082]

For the price a person could do a lot better and have a boat that's more versatile. This is just a "look at me, look what I have" kind of a boat. Sure, it's has nice woodwork, but. JMO

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Hinkleys are sturdy, go anywhere in just about any weather boats. Designed to handle stormy Maine seas - She'll bring you home in a blow (provided you know how to handle a boat in heavy weather)

[@DonFarmer-hq5sw]

One of the finest things to float ❤

[@monsterhog1118]

Imagine cruising around on this beauty for a weekend 😍

[@chrisclarke7828]

"Vent thing".............louvre.

[@brianpurcell9058]

Nice tour Nick as always ! One clever guy that sir Isaac Newton 😂🚤

[@randyc6392]

If you had not said the age of the boat in the beginning, I would have believed that it was a brand new boat. That classic design is just timeless.

[@Erica_Brenda]

OH MY! I love the classic looking boats!

[@markshutt1476]

Truly beautiful classic boat, clearly loved by it's owner. Designed for a different style of use from what we normally see. Probably not the best for kids romping around. Just gorgeous elegance.

[@bobuncle8704]

Gentleman’s cruiser indeed. What a lovely boat. I could sure see myself cruising in this one.

[@SinkyYT]

Do you still make motorhome videos? I've not seen one for ages.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sure do, new one every week! @motaholic

[@philipgriffiths7121]

Hello Nick what an absolute gorgeous boat, very stylish and as you said perfect for two. 👍

[@chrisbmorningstar]

What a beautiful boat absolutely everything you need

[@edgargomes8003]

Dutch owners?

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever (Keats).

[@stevegarth6902]

Not for me I'm afraid

[@onefrazzer]

I love the modern yachts but you have got to love a classic with all its fine lines

[@kokomo9764]

It is ok, not that great.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Very nice, love the interior...in such good condition, obviously a loved possession. Thanks Nick!

[@scoutandscooter]

Do you have a boat? No, but have a piece of art that floats.
