Ahoy Boaters at the Hingham Shipyard Marinas!
Welcome to the Hingham Shipyard Marinas "BLOG." I am Captain Lou, host of "Nautical Talk Radio" (www.NauticalTalk.com) and I will be bringing you the latest news and happenings for you via this BLOG to enjoy keeping your boats at the Hingham Shipyard Marinas. I look forward to meeting all of you, and hope you participate in this BLOG by adding your comments.
If it has to do with the Hingham Shipyard Marinas, hot spots for fishing, visiting the Boston Harbor Islands, or boating news in general, we will keep you informed, but it is important for us to hear from you!
As you know, we have a lot happening this year in, on, and around the water. New housing, shops, restaurants, and movie theaters will be opened this Spring at the former Hingham shipyard, which will make our marinas the number one place to dock your boat. In addition, the Hingham Shipyard Marinas will be offering during the summer a weekly "SPEAKER SERIES" in the new clubhouse, a fishing tournament, and lots of fun "get togethers" for the entire family. We will also keep you informed about sailing regattas and races in our area.
With the boat show opening February 14th and continuing to the 22nd at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, it won't be long now before the winter shrink wrapping comes off and we will be starting our engines.
Let's forget about these Winter blues and think BOATING!

About Me
- Captain Lou
- Hingham, MA, United States
- I have been boating all my life! Isn't that what everyone says? But I can remember when I was 6 years old falling overboard with my father, brother, and uncle after our dinghy capsized while rowing back to shore from our mooring. That was more than a half century ago (1953)! At the time my family had a 24' Chris Craft. In the early 60s, I grew up on a 36' and a 37' Egg Harbor. Today we own a 1990 34' Wellcraft Gran Sport, a 1991 8.5' Avon rollup inflatable with a 4 HP Mercury, and a 1996 20' Stingray with a V6 I/O. The Wellcraft Gran Sport has been a wonderful, dependable boat with hundreds of cruising hours on it.
