A range of innovations

Take a close look at the New Picnic Boat and you’ll see a familiar, understated aesthetic that merges form and function. Look more deeply, and you’ll discover a range of innovations such as twin-diesel engines, an open-deck design, a raised pilothouse and a hull capable of providing stability and comfort under a wide range of conditions. The Picnic Boat’s love affair with the water lives on.

Higher level of power — Twin 300HP diesel engines, coupled with Hinckley’s Waterjet propulsion and controlled by the patented Hinckley JetStick®, power the New Picnic Boat. It is fast, responsive and quiet with lower drag at speed for fuel efficiency. Lastly, as a waterjet, it is environmentally friendly to our seagoing friends like the manatees — and provides greater safety by not entangling lobster buoys.

True Hinckley hull — The New Picnic Boat has a deeper-V hull for stability and comfort in all weather and sea conditions. Yet it requires only two feet and one inch of draft, making it equally at home a few feet from the beach or well offshore. And, of course, the hull construction is a Vinylester resin-infused composite of Kevlar, E-Glass and Carbon Fiber, making the hull light, stiff and impact resistant.

Open deck design — The twin engines are repositioned to reside completely below deck, freeing up significant space aft for relaxing and entertaining. Built-in storage keeps the entire deck area free of clutter.

Command viewing, superior ventilation — We’ve slightly elevated the pilothouse, and the difference is dramatic. Captains enjoy greater visibility and safety, while power hatches and windows allow passengers to enjoy enhanced climate control and a sense of connection between the onboard and outdoor environment.

Hinckley signatures — JetStick® control. A sculpted salon of handcrafted cherry, teak and holly. And, of course, with eight full service boatyards, a level of service that provides complete management and maintenance of your boat.
