Luxury yacht builder and multi-location service operator across U.S. coastal markets
Hinckley builds and maintains high-end yachts across power and sailing segments, operating ten service centers spanning Maine to Florida. The hiring mix—evenly split between engineering, manufacturing, and operations roles—reflects the company's dual identity as a builder and a distributed service network. Active adoption of NetSuite signals effort to unify financial and operational visibility across multiple boatyards, a critical pain point for a company managing inventory, labor, and customer service across geographically dispersed locations.
Notable leadership hires: Sales Director
