Hodgdon Yachts traces its roots back to 1816 in East Boothbay, Maine, where the shipyard has operated continuously for more than two centuries. Still family-owned, Hodgdon occupies a rare position in modern yacht building, blending generational craftsmanship with advanced engineering. From its New England base, the yard has evolved from traditional wooden boats into a specialist builder of complex custom yachts.

Today, Hodgdon is best known for its work in advanced composites, particularly carbon fiber construction, paired with lightweight, high-strength build techniques. The shipyard’s enclosed facilities allow for precise environmental control during construction, supporting demanding custom projects across both sail and power. Each yacht is engineered around owner-specific performance goals rather than standardized platforms.

The result is a portfolio defined by individuality and technical depth. Hodgdon yachts are built for experienced owners who value engineering integrity, understated execution, and long-term reliability. Whether focused on performance sailing or long-range cruising, the yard’s approach remains measured, collaborative, and deeply rooted in its heritage.
