BAREFOOT - Hinckley FOR SALE

BAREFOOT is the most thoroughly personalized Hinckley Talaria 48 Flybridge ever launched — an inspired fusion of classic Downeast heritage and cutting‑edge systems, finished by Hinckley’s master craftspeople. Cherished by experienced owners and overseen by a dedicated yacht manager, she presents a couple‑centric layout with adaptable sleeping for up to six. Bespoke stateroom planning, refined joinery and fabrics, and an impeccable service record position her as a standout Flybridge Motor Yacht in the sub‑60' Luxury Yacht segment — a Downeast Cruising Yacht with pedigree.

Recent upgrades

Thoughtfully refreshed to feel new, this Downeast flybridge motor yacht received a full suite of interior and exterior soft‑goods: new cushions in the lower dinette and guest cabin, a fresh guest cabin curtain, redesigned salon cushions, a pair of barrel chairs in the salon, elegant Roman blinds, upgraded flybridge and cockpit cushions, a foredeck sun pad, and custom sheet sets for the three berths. Practical enhancements include two electric pedestals—one serving the lower dinette/guest cabin and another for the salon table—and a galley two‑drawer refrigerator that keeps provisioning organized for longer cruising. Entertainment and connectivity were elevated with a six‑zone Sonos stereo system and hardtop‑mounted Starlink satellite internet, while a cherry tea‑cup rack under the microwave/convection oven adds a handcrafted touch you’ll appreciate daily.

Outside, custom Stamoid canvas now protects key areas: two covers for the flybridge Stidd seats, tailored covers for the flybridge dash, helm, JetStick, table, and L‑shaped settee, a cockpit slant‑back cover, port and starboard cockpit settee covers, two exterior handrail covers, and a foredeck sunpad cover. Purpose‑built details include five aft‑facing fishing rod holders discreetly mounted to the back of the flybridge settee and a flybridge flag socket with an LED for night illumination. Usability improvements abound, from relocating the JetStick computer display for clearer sightlines to an upgraded forty‑three‑inch QLED television and improved sliding pilothouse power windows. A polished, turnkey package for a Luxury Yacht that’s ready to cruise.

Premium performance & upgraded systems

Power, poise, and control define this Cruising Yacht. Upgraded Volvo D13 common‑rail diesels deliver nine hundred horsepower each for confident, efficient running, while both engines and jets have been fully serviced so you can enjoy true turn‑key reliability. A Seakeeper 6 ensures impressively smooth motion in a seaway, letting guests relax whether underway or at anchor. For docking, the Palmstick joystick remote provides precise, effortless maneuvering—an intuitive edge you’ll appreciate in any marina.

Luxury accommodations & custom features

Crafted for comfort and flexibility, the custom salon layout blends luxury with day‑to‑day usability, while the convertible second stateroom offers adaptable guest accommodations when friends or family join. The premium teak deck package adds warmth underfoot and includes a safer, less‑steep custom flybridge ladder for confident movement between decks. Above, the flybridge sits beneath a bespoke carbon‑fiber hardtop—lightweight, stylish, and well‑shielded—while aft, a SeaLift hydraulic swim platform with a teak dinghy lift simplifies tender handling and water access.

A comprehensive electronics package brings modern navigation and control to your fingertips, and Starlink satellite internet keeps you connected as you roam. Altogether, a Downeast Luxury Yacht that makes extended cruising feel effortless.

Vessel overview

A thoughtful dinette‑cabin arrangement anchors the interior, executed in cherry joinery for a timeless look. In the pilothouse, a starboard settee faces twin Bouclé barrel chairs to port, with a gloss‑varnished cherry finish elevating the space. The galley, guest cabin, heads, and forward stateroom are trimmed in satin‑varnished cherry, including the cabin sole, striking a refined balance between sheen and softness. Daily prep feels polished on a Corian “Ecru” galley countertop, while both master and guest heads receive gloss‑varnished cherry counters for an elevated feel. A subtle green window tint softens the light, and valance rope lighting in the dinette and pilothouse adds a warm evening glow. A harmonious presentation for a Flybridge Motor Yacht with enduring appeal.

Interior

Here, customization meets everyday function. Interior passage doors are bespoke and raised for easier movement—two inches taller on head and cabin doors, and four inches on the master cabin door. The pilothouse table features larger radii and overhangs than standard, with a custom tulipwood inlay, and the center section of the pilothouse settee seat base is widened by two inches to maintain a consistent width. Cleverly, the table drops to act as a filler, turning the salon settee into an additional berth. Electric Skysol shades sheath the pilothouse side windows at a touch, while cherry cladding dresses the FRP verticals at the port and starboard helms.

A custom starboard pilothouse settee extends forward where a middle seat would typically sit, and the locker beneath houses three drawers for organized stowage. Twin Stidd helm seats arrive with electric adjustment and a chrome package, complemented by a custom chart‑locker top with fiddles, cherry overhead and companionway handrails, and a purpose‑built trash bin with shelving in the galley. Additional storage appears beneath the treads of the pilothouse steps, and a varnished cherry rack for mugs and glasses sits on the bulkhead above the cooktop. Cherry/cloth speaker trim rings integrate the audio elegantly. The pilothouse gleams in gloss varnish in lieu of satin, while the galley, aft cabin, and master cabin soles are finished in satin for a soft luster; the pilothouse sole is glossed for a crisp, nautical note.

Custom settee / cabin arrangement

The lower space centers around an aft‑facing L‑settee dinette. Outboard, a full‑length settee stretches the cabin with framed doors and generous storage beneath the seat bases. Between two lockers, a custom hull portlight brightens the area, while the aft bulkhead carries a framed liquor locker paired with a wine fridge for easy entertaining. A clothes dryer, Akso T753, adds liveaboard practicality, and custom storage lockers and shelving appear throughout. In the master and guest heads, teak soles with white caulk are paired with a teak grating in the master shower, and both heads feature varnished cherry counters instead of standard Corian. A simple curtain partition provides flexible privacy when you need it. A versatile, guest‑friendly plan worthy of a Luxury Yacht.

Custom helm

The helms are finished like fine furniture. In the pilothouse, the helm pod presents vertical and horizontal faces veneered in maple burl, with trims laminated in smoked eucalyptus; the dash’s flat fiddle is also maple burl. The sloped back and compass block are American cherry, layered with alternating grain to create subtle striping, and the custom wheel is stained to match the smoked eucalyptus. Outboard of the port helm seat, a removable framed cherry locker allows direct access to the machinery space when needed.

Engine data is crystal clear on seven‑inch color Volvo displays at both the pilothouse and flybridge helms, replacing standard control readouts. Three Raymarine a65 multifunction displays sit neatly in the valance, and a redundant Raymarine 260 VHF system with command mics and speakers serves both upper and lower stations. A Raymarine AIS650 Class B transceiver provides transmit and receive with the ability to switch either function off individually from the E‑Series displays; a dedicated AIS whip antenna is ratchet‑mounted on the hardtop forward of the radar. For awareness aft, a Raymarine CAM100 day/night reverse‑image camera mounts under the aft edge of the pilothouse rooftop on centerline, interfaced for viewing on the yacht’s Raymarine navigation screens.

Galley

Daily life is easy with a Fisher & Paykel Single DishDrawer Tall dishwasher, model DD24SHTI, behind a custom cherry drawer front. Fresh, clean water flows through a 3M WV‑B2 whole‑boat filtration system, and the vessel has been prepped for a future watermaker with the through‑hull core deletion and a product‑water output fitting on the tank already in place. A freshwater washdown is thoughtfully provided on the flybridge, while Waterworks Aero Low Profile fixtures elevate both master and guest heads. In the open dinette, a Wine Enthusiast dual‑zone cooler holds eighteen bottles at perfect temperature—ready for a sunset toast on a true Luxury Yacht.

Electrical

Electrical refinements emphasize safety and ambiance. Vimar outlets and switches are mounted on cherry for a cohesive look, with custom lighting and additional outlets thoughtfully distributed throughout. On the pilothouse end table, two extra one‑hundred‑ten‑volt double outlets handle laptops or phones with ease. Under the bow rail, LED downlights are centered between each stanchion—six per side plus one on centerline beneath the burgee socket, thirteen in total—with switching conveniently located at both the helm and the port cockpit amenity. The engine room and lazarette are illuminated by LEDs, and a painted spotlight stands ready for night operations. At the transom, three OceanLED 3010TH HD underwater lights add a dramatic glow, while soft courtesy lights guide evening movement on deck. A Mastervolt battery monitoring system oversees house loads and is integrated into the Raymarine SeaTalk NG network for viewing on the Raymarine displays. Yacht‑grade details befitting a Downeast Cruising Yacht.

Electronics package

Connectivity and situational awareness are superb. Starlink ensures reliable internet offshore, while a Raymarine CAM50 reverse‑image engine‑room camera mounted forward keeps a watchful eye below. In the pilothouse, a port‑side Raymarine e125 multifunction display serves the companion Stidd seat, paired with a VHF RAM mic for easy coms. Safety is bolstered by an ACR GlobalFix GPIRB, model 2846.0, Category I, Class 2, and communications are duplicated with a second Raymarine 260 VHF system featuring command mics and speakers at both helms.

Weather and vision tools round out the suite: Sirius satellite weather for the E‑Series, three Raymarine T473SC gyro‑stabilized thermal night‑vision cameras on the mast controlled from the E‑Series, and an upgraded RA1048SHD four‑kilowatt, forty‑eight‑inch Super HD digital open‑array radar. At the flybridge helm, two e125 multifunction displays replace the standard e165 units, complemented by Raymarine a65 instrument displays mounted in the valance under the hardtop. An Airmar WX200 ultrasonic weather station stands on a stainless post for clean airflow and interfaces with the Raymarine instruments. A color‑matched spotlight, a fully independent second depth system with i70 displays at both helms and a DT800 smart transducer at the forward end of the engine room, a forward‑facing camera at the aft end of the pilothouse interfaced via Raynet, and a backup Raymarine RS130 GPS antenna complete a professional‑grade fitout worthy of a Luxury Yacht.

Carpentry exterior (hull and deck)

Warm teak decks with white caulking run through the cockpit, side decks, and swim platform, setting a premium tone the moment you step aboard. Custom‑painted aluminum handrails on the flybridge provide a grippy, non‑slip feel, and the extended stainless bow rail integrates LED lighting for safe, stylish movement forward after dusk. On the side decks, two stainless rod/cup holders stand ready for a line or a cool drink. A hydraulic swim platform finished in teak handles tenders with ease, and a custom flybridge ladder with a removable cockpit step improves access. Removable stainless paddleboard racks keep toys tidy, while open midship chocks with additional fender padeyes and a full transom chafe strip speak to real‑world cruising needs. A Downeast exterior, beautifully executed.

Flybridge

Light, airy, and beautifully detailed, the flybridge lives under a custom carbon‑fiber hardtop with two overhead electric hatches, LED lighting beneath, a centerline varnished‑teak handrail, and decorative teak trim, all carried on an aluminum framework painted to match the deck. Underfoot, teak decking with white caulk extends across the sole and neatly terminates at the ladder. Cold drinks stay close thanks to dash‑integrated refrigeration, and the FB teak package—coaming caps, helm pod, dash, and helm shelf—adds a timeless tone. Stidd helm seats ride on electric pedestals (fore/aft) with chrome bases, and a custom dorade system under the flybridge brim routes fresh air into the pilothouse using electric aircraft actuators with louvered flow control for true all‑weather ventilation at the lower helm.

The custom flybridge ladder features a larger landing, with the bend at the two bottom steps removed for comfort, and a folding ladder provides safe access to the hardtop. Varnished‑teak name boards carry running lights for a classic touch, a freshwater washdown spigot simplifies cleanup, and a seven‑inch color Volvo engine display at the flybridge helm replaces standard control readouts. A commanding top deck for a Flybridge Motor Yacht with real cruising intent.

Ground tackle

Anchoring inspires confidence with a two‑hundred‑foot stainless‑steel three‑eighths‑inch chain rode in place of a rope/chain mix. In the anchor well, a freshwater washdown spigot sits beside the standard saltwater wash to keep gear clean, and an LED light on a ball switch illuminates automatically when you open the locker. Control is simple with an AutoAnchor AA710 wireless controller and chain counter, plus an additional remote for redundancy. Practical, seaworthy choices for a true Cruising Yacht.
