2004 Hinckley Yachts Talaria 29C Boat in Virginia Beach, VA 23451 US

Hinckley's first center console, the Talaria 29 C is the result of four years of careful development. Prototype 28s of various layouts were tested in the Chesapeake, in Florida and in Southwest Harbor, Maine, and countless design ideas incorporated before she was approved for production. The result is a versatile center-console vessel worthy of the Hinckley tradition, and deserving of its place in the Talaria line. Like all Hinckley jet boats, the T29 C was engineered, from the drawing board up, to take full advantage of the benefits of a jet drive. Her lightweight yet strong DualGuard hull is propelled by the quiet force of a 440 hp Yanmar diesel. Helmsmen can elect to steer her via the JetStick control, the patented, computer-integrated system that allows precision steering with little practice or on-the-water experience. A simple twist of the JetStick, and your T29 C gracefully moves forward, back, even laterally. Finely crafted teak, varnished to signature Hinckley standards, accents the dash, seating areas, toe rails and trim. And all metal parts are of high-grade 316L stainless steel, shaped to fit the unique lines of the boat. Plush upholstery in the owner's choice of colors offers seating for up to seven guests. Secure lockers provide ample storage for a day's provisions. And a T-top option adds protection from sun and precipitation.

Hinckley didn't follow the joystick era — they started it. The JetStick debuted in 1998, years before the rest of the industry caught on, and it remains one of the most intuitive helm experiences on the water. A single stick blends the waterjet's reversing bucket, steering nozzle, and bow thruster into one motion: spin her a full 360° within her own length, walk her straight sideways into a slip, and hold position against wind and current — no boat-handling pedigree required. Paired with the HamiltonJet waterjet drive — no props, shafts, or rudders hanging below the hull — the Talaria 29C draws just ~18 inches, runs skinny water a propeller boat can't touch, and docks like nothing else her size.

There are center consoles, and then there is a Hinckley. The Talaria 29C was Hinckley's very first center console — built between 2002 and 2021 to the same exacting standard as the legendary Picnic Boats — and she blends the brand's handcrafted soul with genuine go-anywhere capability.

Designed by Bruce King and built on Hinckley's DualGuard composite hull, she wears a striking Claret Red hull and a natural varnished teak transom — a clean, timeless profile that turns heads in every harbor she enters, the antidote to the endless sea of look-alike center consoles.

But she is far more than a pretty face. That shoal-draft waterjet opens up a world of thin-water coves, sandbars, and gunkholing that most boats her size can only watch from the channel. Wrap-around bow seating, an aft settee, and a varnished-teak hi/lo table that converts to a sun lounge make her a natural for family days and sunset cruises. Just behind the helm, varnished teak lids lift to reveal a built-in wet bar — a molded sink with pressurized fresh water and an insulated cooler — with aft-facing seating alongside. And with the JetStick, virtually anyone aboard, with a little instruction and practice, can bring her home and lay her alongside with total confidence.
