HCB Yachts

HCB Yachts is a U.S. builder focused on large, luxury center console yachts. Originally known as Hydra-Sports Custom, the brand helped create the “center console yacht” category by blending the size, comfort, and customization of a sportfishing yacht with the performance and ease of a center console. Today, HCB builds highly customized center console yachts that are designed for offshore fishing, family cruising, and entertaining, including the 65 Estrella, recognized as the world’s largest center console yacht.

HCB yachts are built in and around Knoxville, Tennessee, with the main factory located in Vonore. Each yacht is constructed in relatively low volumes, with the shipyard producing roughly 60 boats per year, which helps maintain tight quality control and a more personalized build experience. For Denison clients, that means your HCB is American built, with craftsmanship that has been refined through decades of offshore fishing and center console design.

HCB currently offers five primary models, all built as luxury center console yachts: the Estrella, Sueños, Campeón, Lujo, and Speciale. Together, they span from roughly 39 feet to 65 feet in length, covering everything from serious offshore fishing platforms to family friendly day and weekend yachts. The lineup includes the flagship 65 Estrella, the Sueños series, the 48 Campeón, the 42 Lujo, and the 39 Speciale, giving Denison the ability to match owners with the right HCB for their fishing style, cruising plans, and crew size.

Every HCB is treated as a custom or semi custom build, with extensive choices in layout, helm electronics, fishing features, upholstery, hull colors, and interior options. HCB’s Crucero Experience and Design A Yacht tool highlight that no two vessels are exactly alike, and each build is guided by engineers and craftsmen who tailor the yacht to the owner’s use case. Through Denison Yachting, you can explore models, spec out a custom HCB, and coordinate a factory visit in Tennessee to see boats in build. Your Denison broker works as the point of contact between you and the shipyard, helping you compare models, finalize options, and manage timelines from order through delivery and after-sales support.
