Review the photography, video, and the detailed specifications below to appreciate why this distinguished motor yacht stands apart.

Exterior

CONCERTO IN SEA presents the iconic Hinckley profile with a Flag Blue Awlgrip hull, a light cream gelcoat deck, a cream Awlgrip double boot stripe, and a red bottom that together signal timeless elegance. Varnished teak toe rails, varnished teak cockpit coaming caps, and classic teak eyebrows highlight the hull’s sweep, while the cockpit sides are clad in gloss-varnished teak with matching gloss-teak work surfaces and louvered doors that elevate every touchpoint. Optional teak decking graces both the cockpit and the swim platform, honoring traditional yacht styling and luxurious finishes. Boarding is effortless and secure thanks to custom stainless steel Bo Peep sockets to port and starboard on the swim platform. The deep cockpit features a molded L-settee to port, a double seat to starboard, and a convenient walk-through transom door to the platform, with wide side decks, properly placed stainless steel handrails, port and starboard coaming gates, and a huge foredeck that make docking and line handling easy and safe. Shade arrives at the touch of a button with a SureShade retractable electric awning, recently upgraded to the advanced silent gear drive system, while an optional custom varnished folding dining table with an inlaid compass rose anchors the aft cockpit in bespoke refinement. Under the swim platform, Ocean LED 3010 lights add a shimmering signature after dark.

Interior

A generous 15’5” beam provides gracious accommodations, including a comfortable pilothouse, an open galley, an aft cabin with twin bunks, two full heads, and a luxurious owner’s stateroom with a centerline queen bunk. There is ample storage throughout for extended cruising. The interior is finished in satin-varnished cherry with a gloss-varnished teak and tulipwood cabin sole, complemented by a sound‑absorbent overhead with varnished cherry battens. Curved stainless and glass tall pilothouse doors combine cockpit and pilothouse into a single convivial space, enhancing visibility and natural light. Six custom Hinckley port lights—fixed in the living quarters and opening in the heads and galley—join ten low-profile stainless steel framed opening hatches to create a light, airy ambiance, with Oceanair Skyscreens providing bug screens and shades on all overhead hatches. Four oversized powered open/close hatches crown the pilothouse top, while Oceanair Skysol pleated shades dress the side windows. The galley and heads feature custom-detailed Corian countertops. Dimmable LED cabin lighting sets the mood, a chilled-water reverse-cycle air-conditioning and heat system maintains perfect comfort, and a custom Scandik polished stainless steel pilothouse table base with electric up/down transforms seamlessly between dining and berth positions.

Hull and deck

The yacht wears Flag Blue Awlgrip hull paint paired with a light cream gelcoat deck, a double light cream Awlgrip boot stripe, and red bottom paint—an unmistakable Hinckley signature. Hinckley DualGuard composite construction builds confidence: a Kevlar/E‑glass outer skin and Corecell M Foam core above and below the waterline are coupled to a carbon fiber inner skin laminated with Vinylester resin via the Seaman Composite Resin Infusion Molding Process (SCRIMP). The deck mirrors this approach with E‑glass outer and inner skins and Corecell M Foam core, also laminated using SCRIMP. These advanced materials and methods yield a superior surface finish, greater resistance to osmosis, excellent stiffness and stiffness‑to‑weight ratios, enhanced impact strength, and thermal insulation. Non‑metallic composite thru‑hulls with ball‑valve seacocks are fitted below the waterline and above it where appropriate, while the propulsion engines benefit from bronze seacocks, thru‑hull fittings, and sea strainers. A robust rub rail features a stainless steel half‑round over a fiberglass molding, and tracking fins below the waterline sharpen performance. The swim platform is painted to match the hull and finished with custom fore/aft teak decking and a stainless‑steel half‑round; beneath it sits a stainless‑steel telescoping three‑step swim ladder. Custom stainless steel Bo Peep handle sockets to port and starboard accept the Bo Peep handle for ease and safety when boarding. On deck, a 1‑1/4” Type 316L stainless steel bow rail frames smooth cream gelcoat verticals across deck, house, waterways, and pilothouse top. Tapered varnished teak toe rails with Hinckley profile and a varnished teak molded eyebrow around the cabin top refine the sightline. Stainless steel handrails are mounted on the forward cabin top, port and starboard on the pilothouse roof, and in a wraparound run along the aft end of the pilothouse. The anchor locker is molded into the foredeck with a hinged, gas‑spring assisted hatch, complemented by a custom stainless steel anchor roller and stainless anchor and controlled via a helm station switch or remote. An optional pilothouse external handrail under the cabin top is painted to match the gelcoat. A washdown spigot and a custom courtesy light inside the anchor locker illuminate automatically upon opening. Hardware includes two open custom Hinckley stainless steel bow chocks, four closed custom Hinckley chocks, and eight Type 316 stainless steel mooring cleats—bow and stern cleats at 12”, spring line cleats at 10”. There are four rod holders, ten smoke‑gray tinted hatches with stainless frames and SkyScreen screens and blinds, overboard direct‑drain cockpit scuppers, and ten Wichard folding padeyes—five to port and five to starboard—on the side decks for fender hanging, each with a stainless half‑round chafe strip on the teak rail at padeye and dock line cleat locations. A stern‑mounted 5’ varnished teak ensign staff with flush socket and flag completes the picture beneath a custom Hinckley aluminum mast painted to match the deck.

Cockpit

Boarding is effortless from the side coaming gates via molded fiberglass steps inboard of each gate, or through the starboard transom door onto the swim platform. The cockpit is laid in teak, with teak service shelves and amenities to port and starboard that include a stainless socket for the Bo Peep handle. To port, a cockpit sink with a varnished teak lid sits above a U‑Line ice maker concealed behind a varnished teak louvered door. To starboard, a Kenyon Frontier BBQ grill with remote is paired with a Vitrifrigo stainless steel icemaker mounted below a Kenyon electric grill, also with a varnished teak louvered door. Overhead, a retractable SureShade electric awning has been upgraded to a whisper‑quiet motor. A folding high‑low varnished teak dining table opens to serve guests on both the port L‑settee and the starboard double seat, its surface inlaid with a holly and ebony compass rose for a bespoke flourish. Teak‑covered cockpit coamings and caps frame the scene, while a Sand Stamoid cockpit cover snaps to the aft end of the pilothouse and encloses the cockpit with zippered access from the transom door. Courtesy lighting at the seating, a safety light on the cockpit step, a cockpit shower with hot/cold mixing valve near the transom door, and a cockpit flood light ensure convenience day or night. Two Glendinning powered shore cord reels pay out through a flush transom hatch, with a custom freshwater direct‑connection inlet located within the Glendinning housing. An aft lazarette locker with ladder swallows lines, fenders, and gear, and an electrically actuated engine room access hatch—controlled at the starboard cockpit amenity—simplifies service. A backup Charles 5000 24‑volt external battery charging system resides in the lazarette. Seat cushions are upholstered in Kravet Genstar off‑white waterproof fabric. Storage abounds in lockers molded into the port and starboard seating with fiberglass lids, and a cockpit sole hatch on manual hydraulic pistons opens to the lazarette for fenders and more.

Pilothouse

The pilothouse invites with large, powered opening side windows and extra‑tall stainless Opacmare curved aft doors that, together with a Huper ceramic tinted insulating window film on all glass, bring superb ventilation, light, and thermal comfort. Entry from the cockpit is through polished stainless steel framed, full‑height, curved tempered glass doors. Forward to starboard, the helm features two optional power‑operated Stidd helm seats in Ivory Ultra Leather; to port, aft of the chart locker, a single Stidd chair in matching upholstery completes the trio, each with a folding Stidd footrest. Every surface is clad in satin‑varnished cherry with custom cherry fiddles at the helm, where two cupholders and an additional fold‑out cupholder in the Stidd arm keep refreshments secure. Aft, the full‑width salon hosts a U‑shaped dinette to starboard in blue‑and‑white Sunbrella with matching piping, facing dual barrel chairs to port upholstered in a complementary multi‑striped Sunbrella fabric, with storage beneath. Between the barrel chairs sits a satin‑cherry amenity, while a 43” HD TV rises on an electric lift. The custom gloss‑cherry salon table with a tulipwood offset perimeter rides an electric hi/low pedestal and, with a filler cushion upholstered to match the settee, converts seamlessly from dining to berth or lounge. Aft draw curtains provide privacy across doors and windows. Satin‑varnished North American cherry, including the dash and chart locker, and a gloss‑varnished teak and tulipwood sole with removable protective covers showcase craftsmanship. All fixed windows are laminated safety glass, with three forward fixed panes served by self‑parking windshield wipers and washers. Fully concealed stainless frame electric opening side windows deliver an abundance of open air on demand, while manually operated OceanAir Skysol pleated blinds shade the sides and a Stamoid sun cover protects the front. Noise‑absorbent overhead material with varnished cherry battens and custom varnished cherry handrails with stainless standoffs on the overhead refine the atmosphere. LED lamps on dimmers illuminate, the helm offers optional red or white night running/chart light, four powered stainless sky hatches include screens and shades, a custom roll‑out wine cabinet resides in the starboard console, four cupholders are at hand, and two 110‑volt outlets serve the aft base of the dinette.

Electronics and navigation

Confidence at the helm begins with a Hinckley JetStick II featuring heading hold and hover lock, paired with an optional PalmStick wireless remote and an optional MD3 helm‑mounted display module. A Garmin electronics suite with dual MFD displays is matched to a Garmin speed and depth repeater, a 48” 4 kW digital open‑array radar, and a Garmin AIS transmit/receive vessel identification system. Connectivity is assured by a Cradlepoint Wi‑Fi router with booster and multiple SIM capacity, and the vessel is wired for Google Alexa. Cummins VesselView electronic engine displays keep propulsion data at a glance, while a Navionics Platinum chip covers the US Northeast coast. Communications are led by a VHF radio with a command mic at the helm, a loud hailer, and an optional amplified speaker at the helm with volume control. Navigation support includes a 5” Danforth compass and an ACR RL‑100 spotlight with helm‑mounted remote control. Signaling is robust with dual Kahlenberg 12‑volt DC air horns and an additional Kahlenberg #116 whistle horn. For weather and visibility, three heavy‑duty electric self‑parking wipers on the pilothouse windows offer intermittent control and freshwater windshield washers.

Forward lies the owner’s stateroom with ensuite head and a spacious stall shower; the primary suite features its own entertainment system including a 43” UHD LCD TV, generous hanging lockers to port and starboard, and a large hanging closet to starboard aft. Aft to starboard are the guest/day head and a guest cabin with twin berths; aft to port is the galley. The ambiance is warm and quiet with satin‑varnished cherry throughout, sound‑absorbent overheads with varnished cherry battens, and a gloss‑varnished teak and tulipwood cabin sole; removable protective covers safeguard every sole. Two large overhead hatches with Oceanair screens and shades and opening ports amplify natural ventilation. Hinckley panel trim details complement cherry shelves running along the hull battens at the head of the berth, and storage is ample for extended cruising.

Galley

Open to the pilothouse and bathed in natural light and ventilation via an opening portlight above the counter, this cherry‑clad galley is both beautiful and highly functional. A Corian countertop in Festival with custom edge details anchors the workspace, serving a double polished stainless steel sink that is integrated flush to the Corian with a Grohe single‑lever fixture and sprayer. Cooking is handled by a Seaward two‑burner electric cooktop and a Sharp stainless steel combination microwave/convection oven, while cold storage includes a U‑Line combo refrigerator drawer unit with cherry faces on both drawers and a top‑loading custom stainless‑steel freezer box with Seafrost wraparound condensing freezer plates. Convenience touches abound: an optional custom chopping board that fits over the sink to extend counter space; hot and cold pressure freshwater; additional 110 VAC outlets to accommodate a coffee maker and other appliances; over‑counter lighting on a dimmer; and custom task lighting mounted over counter storage designed for dinner settings. Practical storage is everywhere, including pot and pan storage in a locker outboard of the cooktop, additional slide‑out shelves in the cabinets, added drainage for the drop‑in fridge, and an inboard supplemental refrigerator vent. The thoughtful layout places the double sink outboard, the custom top‑loading freezer just aft of it, and a countertop storage bin forward; below the sink, two doors open to capacious storage. A protective back lip runs the length of the countertop to shield the bulkhead. Inboard of the freezer, generous workspace is flanked by the convection microwave above and a Fischer‑Paykel deep‑drawer dishwasher below. Forward sits the two‑burner electric cooktop, with the two‑drawer refrigerator/freezer below for intuitive cooking flow.

Entered through a single‑panel door aft to starboard, the guest stateroom offers a comfortable twin‑bunk layout with generous storage integrated into each bunk and drawers beneath. Twin sheer lockers are positioned above the starboard bunk, with a locker featuring removable shelves and a storage surface atop complete with integral fiddles. Two open shelf storage areas grace the aft bulkhead. Lighting is on a dimmer circuit, climate is managed via a reverse‑cycle AC/heat vent with control mounted on the sheer locker, and fresh air flows through an opening stainless overhead hatch with an Oceanair Skyscreen shade and screen. Additional natural light filters through a “skylight” in the dash area under the front windshield, also equipped with a Skyscreen shade. Additional 110‑volt outlets enhance convenience.

Head area

Forward of the guest cabin, the guest head and shower are appointed in light cream gelcoat with satin‑varnished cherry bulkheads, including satin‑varnished trim around mirrors and lockers. A Corian Festival countertop supports a stainless steel sink with stainless fixture, while the forward shower stall features a plexiglass door and divider with a Grohe fixture and mixing valve; teak slats grace the shower seat, and a large dry toiletry locker is positioned outboard in the shower. The Sealand VacuFlush marine toilet is plumbed directly to a 27‑gallon holding tank, which can be emptied via a deck fitting or overboard through a Sealand macerator pump to a discharge facility. The opening portlight is served by a drop‑down pleated curtain, the overhead lighting is on a dimmer, and a stereo speaker in the overhead adds ambiance.
