1999 Hinckley Yachts Talaria 44

CHARMER holds a remarkable place in Hinckley's history as Hull No. 1 of the Talaria 44 Jet, the very first of its kind to launch. Born from the overwhelming success of the groundbreaking Hinckley Picnic Boat, the Talaria 44 emerged in 1999 as the company's next evolution-pairing classic Downeast beauty with advanced composite construction and refined jet propulsion. The model quickly became one of Hinckley's most celebrated yachts, admired for its performance, elegance, and offshore capability. As the original vessel that started this immensely successful series, CHARMER represents the beginning of a defining chapter in the modern Hinckley story.

CHARMER has always been a seasonally used New England boat and has been Hinckley-serviced since new. She has had only two owners, each prioritizing her care during every winter storage period, and this year she is further backed by Hinckley's exclusive Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty for added peace of mind. Most recently, she underwent an extensive mechanical refit in early 2025 and now stands as the only T44 fitted with Volvo-Penta D6-480 hp common-rail diesels.

INTRODUCTION & LAYOUT

She sleeps 5 in her comfortable interior with satin varnish trim which adds to the warm feeling throughout.

The Pilothouse features two Stidd Helm seats and two L-shaped settees. The cockpit includes aft-facing settees, and a walk-thru transom door to the swim platform. Interior includes Galley, Dinette and Master cabin and separate Head and Shower areas.
