Hinckley // Talaria 48 Flybridge
This past December I photographed my third boat for Hinckley. It was the coldest shoot we had done on the water thus far, but the Bay was a playground laying in wait just for us! We jetted under the bridge at sunrise, motored through an empty Newport Harbor, and made our way to Prudence Island for sunset. I'm finally done editing all of these shots, and happy to share them all with you!
Introducing, the Hinckley Talaria 48 Flybridge in hunter green with custom fighting chair. Hinckley is known for their gorgeous craftsmanship, attention to detail, and accommodating custom client requests. This gorgeous 48 footer was built to client specifications not only as a luxury yacht, but also for fishing. It was a Hinckley first to outfit a fighting chair into a Talaria, and while I'm not much of a fisher myself, it was still beautiful to shoot against the blue backdrop of Narragansett Bay.
For any photographers out there who may be inclined to ask, I primarily shot from a chase boat with my Nikon D750 and 70–200mm VRII lens. We approached it the same as the recent Talaria 55 shoot, doing shots at speed first before slowing. As the boat came to rest and we were able to approach a little closer, I switched to my 50mm prime and my 16-35mm wide angle zoom for some variety. Interior shots could only be effectively achieved with the even wider 14-24mm lens. Just 2mm really does make a difference!

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.

Hello Mr. Brown,
my name is Bert Elbel, I live in Solingen/Germany, and as a yachtmodel builder this time I´m looking for drawings and photos of the motoryacht HINCKLEY Talaria 48 Fly. While searching the internet I came across your homepage with your beautiful photos of the Talaria “SIMPY BEAUTY”.
I have already sent a mail to the Hinckley Shipyard, and also a mail to the European broker/dealer Vortecmarine in South England, but unfortunately I did not receive a reply from anyone. Unfortunately Hinckley Yachts are very rare in Europe, which is why I was very happy about the home marina “Amsterdam” on the boat you photographed. A trip to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, for me only 2 hours, in order to be able to take some detail photos with the consent of the owner, would be the greatest for a model builder to be able to build up a detailed model.
For your information: The HINCKLEY Talaria 48 Fly will be build as radio controlled model in scale 1:10, and is equipped with modern technology like brushless motors, lipo accus and much lights etc. Everething of course can be controlled from the transmitter!
My question to you is, do you know if is the photographed yacht really in Amsterdam, maybe even today, or do you know the owner, to get a contact perhaps? It would be very delighted to receive a short anser from yours.
With my best regards from Germany, and please stay healthy,
