There is no experience quite like a day on a Hinckley Picnic Boat, and WANTAGONG offers the rare opportunity to step into that lifestyle immediately, without the wait. Meticulously maintained and stored by Hinckley, this Picnic Boat 37 MKIII is in exceptional condition. She is a testament to pride of ownership, featuring low hours and a recent exterior varnish refresh that ensures she arrives at the dock gleaming. WANTAGONG pairs iconic Downeast aesthetics—stunning Flag Blue Awlgrip topsides, a crisp Light Cream deck, and a warm, satin-varnished cherry interior—with the confidence of modern, updated systems. Whether you are navigating bustling harbors or anchoring in quiet coves, her low hour twin Volvo D4 300 hp engines and Hinckley’s signature JetStick® control system make every maneuver effortless and intuitive. This is more than a boat; it is a turn-key escape.
