In the inaugural episode of Cult Classics, YachtWorld visits Huckins Yachts, and focuses on the company’s storied evolution from from its founding in 1928 to building World War II era PT boats and up to their current classically-styled Sportsman 38 yacht - a modern hybrid diesel-electric boat. Constructing yachts that offer a unique blend of traditional styling with the cutting-edge materials and processing techniques, Huckins Yachts continues their proud history of boat building that has earned them a loyal following of owners and fans.
