Hinckley Yachts this week announced that its Stuart, Fla., location has attained certification as a Mercury Marine Certified Service and Sales Dealer. The addition of the dealership advances Hinckley’s broader growth strategy, according to a company statement.

“As a company known for meticulous attention to detail and world-class service, becoming a Mercury Marine Certified Dealer in Stuart allows us to elevate our in-season support for outboard customers,” COO Mike Arieta said in the statement. “This capability not only enhances our service for Hinckley owners, but also positions us as the go-to resource for all boat owners who value precision and excellence in their boating experience.”

The Stuart yard also announced plans to double its Category 5 hurricane protection capacity with the completion of a new building slated for late spring of 2025.

Stuart is the sixth Hinckley yard to attain the Mercury designation. The company has additional service locations in Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, Georgia and Florida.
