What makes the Hinckley Talaria 44 MKII a standout choice for luxury yacht enthusiasts?
The Hinckley Talaria 44 MKII stands out due to its sophisticated JetStick control system, allowing for effortless maneuvering. It’s a two-owner yacht that’s only been in freshwater and has been kept in pristine condition through professional maintenance by a Hinckley Authorized Service Facility. Its original YANMAR 480-hp electronic diesel engines have surprisingly low hours. The yacht’s luxurious teak cockpit, Majestic Blue Awlgrip topsides, and high-quality Hinckley DualGuard™ Composite Construction also set it apart in terms of aesthetics and durability.
How does the location and maintenance history of this yacht benefit potential buyers?
Located in Harbor Springs, MI, this yacht benefits from being a freshwater-only vessel, which can significantly reduce wear and tear compared to saltwater counterparts. Its diligent maintenance by a Hinckley Authorized Service Facility ensures the yacht is in top condition, with every detail attended to. Such a history promises a better overall condition and potentially lower future maintenance costs.
Can you detail the propulsion and control features of the Hinckley Talaria 44 MKII?
The yacht is powered by twin YANMAR 480-hp electronic diesel engines paired with Twin Disc Gears and Hamilton 322 waterjets, offering powerful and efficient propulsion. The integration of a 24-volt DC 10″ reversible prop bow thruster with the JetStick® control system simplifies maneuvering in close quarters, making docking and navigating tight spaces easier and safer for operators of any skill level.
What luxury features does the Hinckley Talaria 44 MKII offer to enhance the onboard experience?
Luxury features abound on the Talaria 44 MKII, starting with its elegant teak cockpit sole that invites comfort and style. The aft-facing cockpit settees with cushions and weather covers offer a perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining. Pilothouse windows equipped with intermittent wipers and fresh water sprayers, Lewmar Ocean aluminum hatches with blinds/screens, and a cockpit shower with hot and cold mixing valve add convenience and comfort. Additionally, the yacht’s state-of-the-art Onan Generator supports all onboard electrical needs during extended journeys.
What does the meticulously maintained and stored status of the Hinckley Talaria 44 MKII mean for potential buyers?
A yacht that spends nine months a year in heated storage and is meticulously maintained signifies a vessel in exceptional condition. It suggests less exposure to harsh elements, which can deteriorate a yacht’s condition over time. For potential buyers, this means acquiring a yacht that has received tremendous care, likely resulting in lower immediate maintenance needs and preserving the yacht’s value and integrity over the long term.
Provided Description:
KEEPER is an outstanding example of the rare and beloved Hinckley Talaria 44 Motoryacht, and it’s even more rare history. Two owner and freshwater since new! Finished in 2008, she features all the right equipment and has been lovingly cared for her entire life by a Hinckley Authorized Service Facility. No expense was spared. Professionally maintained, KEEPER must be seen to appreciate fully. Her barely used interior has even been updated with luxury neutral fabrics. Given her condition, this boat will not be on the market long. She has only 556 original hours and has spent 9 months a year in heated storage, with only 3 months per year in the cold, fresh water of Northern Michigan. For the last 13 years she has spent her summers in an undercover slip in Harbor Springs during the summer boating months. She is truly a “time capsule” boat and should not be missed!
