The Hinckley Company has acquired Campbell’s Boatyard at Bachelor Point in Oxford, Maryland. The acquisition marks a significant move for Hinckley as it deepens its commitment to the USA’s Eastern Shore.
Campbell’s Boatyard is located at Bachelor Point and is known for its deep-water access, full-service offerings and boatbuilding expertise. With the expansion, Hinckley aims to uphold Campbell’s reputation for craftsmanship while offering its clients expanded service capabilities and access to a broader support infrastructure.
CEO of Hinckley Gavin McClintock said, “Campbell’s has built something truly meaningful on the Eastern Shore – an environment rooted in skill, care and integrity. This is more than a strategic acquisition; it’s the alignment of two companies that believe in doing things the right way and in taking care of boaters the way they deserve. We’re proud to welcome Campbell's team into the Hinckley family.”
Campbell’s Boatyard features a 75 and 25-tonne travel lift and offers services including carpentry, mechanical work, electrical, varnishing, rigging, painting, haul-outs and both indoor and outdoor storage. Campbell’s three boatyard locations allow collaborative work across specialised teams.
The facility provides both annual and transient slips, accommodating vessels from six metre to 138-metres (20 to 125-foot). Amenities include Wi-Fi, shower facilities, coin-operated laundry, dinghy storage and a picnic area with grills. Complimentary bikes are also available for guests to explore the town of Oxford.
Tom Campbell, owner of Campbell’s Boatyard, affirmed the alignment between both companies: “We’ve built our reputation on attention to detail, honesty and knowing our customers by name. Joining Hinckley allows us to keep those values intact while expanding what we can offer. It’s a perfect fit—and an exciting step forward for our employees and our clients.”
As part of the transition, the existing Campbell’s team will remain in place to maintain continuity and customer familiarity. Hinckley clients will benefit from immediate access to the brand’s national service network and technical resources.
The acquisition adds to Hinckley’s growing service footprint, which already includes facilities in Maine, Rhode Island, Georgia, Florida, Annapolis and other Chesapeake Bay locations. The acquisition also aligns with the company’s broader vision to offer concierge-level yacht services across key East Coast destinations.
