For over 86 years, this has been the philosophy behind Huckins yachts and the one-of-a-kind people who buy them.

Both began employment at Huckins in 1970 — Cindy in the stock room and Buddy starting off as a painter. Working hard and immersing themselves in Huckins philosophy and tradition, each was instilled with generations of know-how.
