2004 Hinckley 36 Picnic Boat EP

SOUTHERN SEAS is a premier example of one of Hinckley's hallmark and most recognizable classic designs - the timeless 36 EP Picnic Boat. Lovingly cared for by only her second owner, she has enjoyed consistent maintenance and impeccable care throughout her entire life, all documented by a collection of maintenance records kept since the day she left the factory.

Originally stored indoors for the first 15 years of her life, and now enjoying home in Beautiful Charleston, SC... she stands out in any port. And from her new Garmin Electronics, underway cockpit and cabin AC, fresh varnish throughout and recent full service, to her painted Flag Blue Awlgrip hull (2016), she wants for nothing, and shows just as you'd expect for a boat with her pedigree.

• Exterior upholstery (2022)

Vessel Overview

The 36 EP Picnic Boat has proven to be a timeless daycruiser, second to none in terms of handling, performance and of course craftsmanship. Each Hinckley being a custom, built-to-order vessel created by the finest craftsmen in the trade, the undeniable tradition of quality and style follows you into every harbor, anchorage or dock you choose to visit.

From her climate controlled cockpit, with eisenglass enclosure across the back for the chillier (or warmer) days, to the open chaise and aft bench seat under the sun (unless you choose to utilize the custom sunshade of course) and the bench seat and table under the hardtop in the pilothouse, her layout offers numerous areas for entertaining, and the captain is right in the mix with amazing visibility all around.

Below, a galley with two burner stove, drop in fridge and small microwave, along with a V-berth and separate head offer all the necessities if one were to choose to spend a night or weekend aboard.

Engine access is made easy with a full lifting midsection, and complete jet drive and steering access is aft beneath the bench seat below two drop in storage bins. 

The deck is well laid out, the woodwork and joinery (interior and exterior) is exquisite, having just been fully varnished only months ago, and her profile is a recognizable symbol of luxury to all who see her.
