This gorgeous 2004 82' Lyman Morse came to us through Skip Denison from Denison Yacht Sales and Dudley Savage at the AMIkids Yacht Donation Program earlier this year.



We worked on her for for several months in hundreds of punch items. The highlights of our material improvements included fully servicing her C-18 engines and generators, dry docking for new cutlass bearings, fully reconditioning her propellers and a number of comfort and cosmetic upgrades.

Insignia was recently leased and is now ready to provide her new handler with fantastic experiences out at sea. But that's not all, the proceeds from her lease will directly help at-risk youth start a promising future.

But she wont last long! This amazing 48’ 2015 Hinckley Talaria has IPS drives and very low hours. The main engines are still under guarantee from the manufacturer and the all new GARMIN – VOLVO glass bridge has been installed. This is one of the few (if not the only) Hinckley Talaria ever retrofitted with this amazing new integration of GARMIN – VOLVO marine electronics and engines.
