Port of Egypt Marine has been acquired by Hinckley Yacht Services.
The Long Island, New York State based marina was founded in 1946 by brothers William Sr, Herb and Herman Lieblein as a fishing retreat.
The business operated a fishing station until the mid-1980s when a decision was made to focus solely on growing the dealership and marina offerings.
The marina currently supplies new and pre-owned boats, offers servicing and has a parts and marine supply store along with a number of marina berths and marina amenities.
The acquisition will strengthen Hinckley’s presence in the region, with the location set to become a key addition to Hinckley’s network of service yards and marinas.
Growing service capabilities
“We are honored to be part of Port of Egypt’s next chapter,” said Gavin McClintock, CEO of Hinckley.
“As we continue to grow our service capabilities, our focus is on marinas where legacy, craftsmanship and care already run deep.
“The foundation built by the Lieblein family will remain at the heart of what comes next, and we are proud to carry that legacy forward.”
Hinckley plans to make a significant investment in the property, that will include the conversion of a 24,000sqft cold storage facility into heated, year-round storage to support yacht maintenance.
Additional enhancements will focus on enhancing service capabilities, expanding technical expertise and integrating advanced technologies to support the marina’s community.
Important boating region
Over time, Hinckley will also extend select concierge and mobile service offerings from the location.
“Long Island’s East End has long been one of the country’s most important boating regions and continues to grow,” said Peter Clark, chief development officer at Hinckley.
“Port of Egypt is one of the North Fork’s most respected marinas, built over generations with a deep commitment to care and community.
“Our role is to build on that foundation and add new capabilities, expertise, and technology to elevate the experience even further.”
Commitment to craftsmanship
Will and Yvonne Lieblein, co-general managers, added: “In Hinckley, we found a partner who truly understands what makes Port of Egypt special.
“Their commitment to craftsmanship, stewardship, and service reflects the values we have upheld here over eight decades and gives us great confidence in what comes next.
“We are proud of what we’ve built and excited to see it thoughtfully enhanced and carried forward.”
Hinckley was founded in Maine in 1928 and is particularly known for its Bermuda 40 and Picnic Boat models.
