Overview

TURQUOISE (name reserved) is a like-new example of the Hinckley Talaria 48 MKII, commissioned by a knowledgeable yachtsman who has owned numerous Hinckleys and continually refined by Hinckley Yacht Services. From its hydraulic swim platform, SeaKeeper stabilization, custom carpentry, and optional engine package to recent Garmin upgrades, the desirable MKII interior layout, and a wealth of thoughtful details, this yacht delivers the sensation of stepping aboard a brand-new Hinckley Talaria 48—at a substantial discount from new and with no two-plus wait time.

Purpose-built for cruising, this remarkable forty-eight features a galley-up layout, optional Volvo D13 800 hp engines, SeaKeeper 9, an extended-range 800-gallon fuel tank, a water maker with additional water filtration, a SeaLift hydraulic swim platform for effortless dinghy launch, a washer/dryer, additional refrigeration, an upsized anchor and windlass system, lithium-ion batteries, a Glomex WiFi system, Starlink connectivity, and the JetStick 3 system with the new DockHold feature, along with numerous other design elements that elevate comfort on extended passages.

Having spent only a few short summers in New England with a dedicated captain, TURQUOISE resides the balance of the year in heated indoor storage with Hinckley Yachts, enrolled in their comprehensive winter package. Highlights include the optional 800 hp Volvo D13 engines, a hydraulic swim platform with dinghy chocks, 2026 flagship Garmin 9000 MFD displays, and numerous custom carpentry and electrical enhancements added in 2025, all underscored by captain care during summer months and professional Hinckley maintenance and storage through the winter.

Hull and deck

The hull is Carbon Kevlar construction with a Corecell M Foam core, infused and post-cured with epoxy resin using the Seaman Composite Resin Infusion Molding Process (SCRIMP®). The deck carries E-glass outer and inner skins around a closed-cell foam core, likewise laminated via SCRIMP®, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight integrity. A molded anchor locker in the foredeck is customized to accommodate additional rode storage and features a gas-spring-assisted hatch, complemented by both fresh and salt water washdown. At the bow, a custom Hinckley-designed fixed type 316L stainless steel anchor roller stands alongside a stainless steel bow rail added in 2025, while varnished teak molding elegantly crowns the cabin top. Stainless steel handrails are mounted on the forward cabin top to port and starboard, with additional port and starboard handrails along the sides of the pilothouse below its windows.

Natural light and airflow abound through four oversized 31-inch powered opening hatches on the pilothouse top, four more on the cabin house, and two oversized 24-inch hatches in the master cabin. Six custom Hinckley opening port lights with removable screens grace the house sides, and in total there are ten low-profile stainless-steel opening hatches fitted with Skyscreens® privacy and insect screens.

A SeaLift hydraulic swim platform and dinghy lift feature teak decking with black seams on the platform, removable teak chocks with polished hardware for the dinghy, and pop-up cleats, while a stainless steel handrail on the transom is painted to match the hull. A telescoping three-step stainless steel ladder stows neatly under the swim platform. A stern-mounted five-foot varnished teak staff with a flush socket is accompanied by an ensign, and an additional varnished teak staff with a flush socket is also provided. The side decks are equipped with ten fender pad eyes—five to port and five to starboard—for hanging fenders, with more fender pad eyes added in 2025 for better positioning; each pad eye location is protected by a stainless steel half-round chafe strip on the teak toe rail. Above, a Hinckley aluminum mast atop the pilothouse roof is powder coated to match the deck, and a stainless steel half-round on the solid molding adds further protection. For secure handling, there are two Hinckley open bow chocks and four Hinckley closed chocks located fore and aft, all in type 316L stainless steel, together with ten 316L stainless steel cleats comprising two 12-inch bow cleats, four 10-inch spring cleats, two 12-inch stern cleats, and two swim platform cleats. A fiberglass gasketed transom door to starboard completes the thoughtful deck layout.

Cockpit

Command shade and comfort at the touch of a button with the powered Sureshade that spans the entire cockpit, seamlessly retracting into the pilothouse roof via a cockpit switch or iPad. In 2025, custom varnished teak ladder-backed settees were added to elevate lounging, complementing the varnished teak cockpit coaming and coaming cap. To port, a molded fiberglass L-settee pairs with cushions upholstered in Pumice Seahorse, while a double seat to starboard completes the arrangement. Serving the port settee are two gloss-varnished teak tables set on polished stainless steel removable pedestals that adjust effortlessly from dining to cocktail height; padded covers allow the tables to be used individually or together, and dedicated storage bags are included. Entertaining is simplified by a starboard amenity featuring a Vitrifrigo drawer-style refrigerator concealed behind a louvered door, perfect for keeping wine chilled and cold drinks within easy reach. To port, an amenity module hides a stainless icemaker behind a louvered door and a stainless steel sink with hot and cold water beneath a hinged lid; both the icemaker and sink water are independently filtered. For rinse-offs after a swim, a hot and cold mixing valve with shower wand is mounted in the cockpit, complemented by a fresh water wash-down system with a 25-foot self-coiling hose and nozzle. The space is finished with dimmable lighting, opening doors in the cockpit coaming to port and starboard with molded steps below fitted with teak treads, and a teak-decked cockpit sole laid with traditional black seams.

Pilothouse

A refined interplay of materials and light defines the pilothouse, where varnished satin cherry graces the window frames, instrument pod, and port-side shelf, and even the inset areas of the side window frames are clad in the same lustrous finish. The satin-finished cherry dash pod and faces complement green pilothouse glass, while three fixed forward windows in laminated safety glass are set within fully concealed stainless steel frames. Two side windows with a powered sliding center section continue the theme with fully concealed stainless-steel frames. A varnished wood-rimmed wheel with a stainless steel hub and spokes, 14-inch diameter, anchors the helm, flanked by two Stidd powder-coated pedestal seats; the helm seat features four-way power adjustment with ample storage beneath in a custom pull-out drawer. A custom built-in U-shaped settee to starboard and an L-shaped settee to port welcome guests in comfort, upholstered in Thibaut Vista Sand cushions, and the port-side settee converts to an additional bunk in 2025. The pilothouse door, in polished stainless steel, is framed with four full-height curved, tinted glass panels. Soft furnishings are thoughtfully curated, with curtains for the pilothouse door and aft windows in Sunbrella Linen Champagne, and full Roman shade-style aft curtains in Sunbrella Chintz Topaz Plus. Protection and practicality continue outside with a forward, outside-mounted Stamoid windshield cover in Stamoid Sand with a dedicated storage bag, and underfoot with two cabin sole covers—one in Sunbrella Heather Beige and one in cotton duck.

In the galley up to port, a Natural Gray Corian countertop sets a sleek tone over Isotherm dual refrigerators and a Dometic CFX3 75DZ Dual Zone Refrigerator/Freezer with rapid cool located under the sole. An extra-deep Scandvik double sink pairs with a Rohl Modern Lux pulldown single-lever stainless steel faucet, while slide-out drawers in the galley storage replace standard baskets for superior organization. Culinary versatility is assured by a Miele Speed Oven for convection, broiler, and microwave functions, a hinged cabin sole lift-out granting access to an under-sole auxiliary freezer with lighting, and a Kenyon Electric two-burner cooktop with touch control wired to work from the inverter. Dining service is elevated by six custom Hinckley place settings including dinner and salad plates, bowls, coffee cups, glass highball and rocks glasses, stemless wine glasses, dinner and salad forks, dinner knives, and espresso and soup spoons, complemented by Cristel cookware—saucepan, stock pot, and non-stick skillet with removable handles—and a custom fitted coffee maker with direct freshwater intake.

The starboard helm station is rated nine out of ten and showcases Hinckley’s JetStick 3 with the new DockHold feature and G-Lock (Geostationary Lock), bringing military-grade GPS hardware and digital processing to an evolved driving experience. Now in its third generation, Hinckley’s JetStick delivers industry-leading precision, reliability, and comfort with Dynamic Steering, Heading Hold, DockHold, and the new G-Lock software platform. One of the most significant improvements in JetStick 3 is the enhanced functionality of the Heading Hold system, which derives a linear course in a variety of conditions at any speed for a more relaxed, confident driving experience. Made possible by Parker intellinders, optical linear position feedback provides reliability, unmatched precision, and vessel control.
