"This is a combination of some hundreds of thousands of man-hours in construction, design, innovation." 

An overview of the Hampton 680, which seen additional upgrades as is now available as the Hampton 700. Created by Leigh-Smith Yachts in Sanctuary Cove, Australia. 

"Taking the helm of the 720 Endurance is commanding to say the least. You really feel like you're at the helm of a ship. You feel like you're in a boat twice its size. You feel like you're in a boat twice its weight. As the name suggests, Endurance, it has the seakeeping ability and confidence to go anywhere. This boat is serious in construction, form, and function. Stepping inside the Endurance is like a home away from home."

“The all new Hampton 650 Motor yacht is one of the best running boats I have ever been on. From the moment you start the engines until you shut them down the Hampton 650 is exhilarating. Her ABT Trac digital stabilizers work so well you feel you were aboard a much larger yacht, and the Twin Disc quick shift transmissions along with Sea Torque anti vibration system make this Hampton silky smooth and ultra-quiet. When I ran the boat at 15 knots from San Diego California to Newport Beach California no matter where I was on the boat I was amazed at how quiet the entire boat was. I was able talk in a normal voice thanks to the liberal use of sound down insulation, under water exhaust, and again the Seatorque shaft system allowing for low noise and vibration throughout the entire vessel. The trip took about 4 hours in about 4 to 6 foot swell and 10 to 12kts of wind without roll or vibration form anywhere throughout the boat. Hampton has built one of the best handling Yachts I have been on at any size.”

Our Broker from Hampton Yachts, Skip Smith, was very patient. He worked with us for 3 ½ years identifying, previewing and showing yachts to us. Skip was always cheerful and persistent, ready to look at another boat even after viewing several disappointments. Skip has years of knowledge and experience with high end watercraft, he gave good directions to the location of showings and always arrived early. There was never any high pressure selling. In the end Skip found the perfect Yacht for us, Thank you Skip!

This is my experience with buying and building my Hampton Endurance 658.

The reason I chose a Hampton yacht is because of the quality and performance of the Hampton Endurance.
I use my yacht in the Caribbean where the sea is pretty choppy and the Endurance is made for these conditions.

One of the important things for me on my yacht was the the layout and looks. I prefer the more European look and open plan.

After visiting the Yard in Shang Hai with a good friend of mine and working for 3 days with you and Jeff on the looks and layout we managed to work out a good floor plan.
The flexibility of the Yard and Jeff’s and your cooperation gave us this result and it came out exactly the way we liked it. 
My yacht looks very good, open, clean and European.

After almost 2 years of using my yacht in the Caribbean I still love the handling of the Endurance and the comfort she gives us.

I am proud to be part of the Hampton family

This letter serves as a thank you on behalf of the professional services I have received with Hampton Yacht Group and Robert Fiala.

It has been a dream of mine to own a yacht that I could one day call my own. I knew that being able to find a dealership that could accommodate my specific needs and expectations would be a daunting task, and I would be lying if I admitted that I wasn’t nervous when searching for the right one. My wife Emma and I visited quite a few dealerships, but we just were not able to locate one that we both felt comfortable in doing business with. And then we came across Hampton Yacht Group in Seattle, which we had flown into from our home in Miami. We felt comfortable with Seattle’s Hampton Yacht Group from the very beginning; from the warmth & hospitality to the professional knowledge and services.

One individual who stood out for me in particular was Robert Fiala. Mr. Fiala is a stand up man who I felt completely comfortable with in making this deal happen to purchase my new Endurance 658 yacht. As a businessman myself, who has made deals with hundreds of people and personalities, I can recognize when someone upholds a high level of professionalism. From start to finish, I could not ask for a better individual and a more pleasant person to get this deal done with. Mr. Fiala always made himself available to me and was able to make the whole process smoother than I thought ever possible.
It is my recommendation that Hampton Yacht Group strive to hold their employees to the utmost highest standard and professionalism, with Mr. Fiala being a prime example of the type of person that makes a business succeed. Continuing to build on professionals like Mr. Fiala within your group is a fantastic way to distinguish yourselves among the competition. It is with my hope that I can continue to have such a good business relationship with HYG.

Thank you, Hampton Yacht Group in Seattle, for making my dream come true.

Owner Steve Seher shares what he loves about his Endurance 720 - "We wanted a big enough boat that we could drive ourselves, but later on to have crew quarters underneath. This boat does all of that for us. We have our grandchildren now who can ride with us, and later one when they're gone, we can put crew downstairs and go wherever we want to go." 

The 2015 Newport Beach Boat Show was being rained out, and only a couple of other hearty souls were on the docks. We were there to look at a 60-foot vessel only to find it deserted. As we turned to leave the area a voice rang out, “Over here, get out of the rain” and thus began our relationship with Hampton Yacht Group and Chris Elliott. Their “office" that day was a beautiful 72-foot Endurance by Hampton Yachts. After some warm conversation and hot coffee we left the very approachable yacht brokers, awed by the vessel we had been introduced to, but feeling it was too big for us, as this would be our first yacht.

For the next few weeks I researched various boat builders, comparing the specifications of the craft they produce and Hampton-built yachts came out on top in all of the categories that were important to us. However, we were still looking for a smaller vessel and decided to go to the San Diego Boat Show which had just opened. Once there, we went aboard several yachts in the 60-foot range but we kept comparing their features to that of the beautiful Endurance 720 last seen at the Newport Beach show two months earlier.

As we started down another dock we had no idea we were about to become yacht owners that day. But, there she was, the Endurance 720, sitting majestically in a slip with the same friendly brokers waving us on. That day we bought her. Now, a couple of years later, we are even more convinced that we made the right decision. With enormous space in the interior we are never cluttered. The fully equipped galley is a dream - on long cruises it is easy to cook a full meal. Stabilizers make for a smooth ride and first-class equipment installed by the Hampton ship builders coupled with the service and after the sale policies of the Newport Beach office has made our cruising experience trouble-free.

Owners of "LET’S DANCE", Endurance 720 built by Hampton Yachts

Endurance 658-10 "Ocean Suite" owner shares what set the Endurance 658 apart from other yachts that he saw - "As we looked further into the boat, we saw the fit and finish. We got into the engine room and under the holds and down below - it's all finished out. There was no comparison to any of the other builds that we looked at."

Owners Bob & Debbie Towery comment on their build experience: "I especially appreciated the opportunity to go to the factory in Shanghai and work with Jeff Chen and the crew there. It made it that much more special because you met the people who built your boat. A lot of boat owners told us that we were never going to get our boat within 9 months of starting, but we were happy to prove them wrong."

Endurance 658-11 "Gratitude" owner shares: "I think the thing that has impressed me the most about Robert and Hampton Yacht Group is that attention to detail and genuine interest in us and doing the right thing. It's really been amazing to watch the level of professionalism and personal concern that has gone into the relationship."

"The hull is solid fiberglass that’s reinforced with two layers of Kevlar from chine to chine and three layers of Kevlar in the forward “collision zone”. In other words, the Hampton 650 Pilothouse is one tough beauty, and with twin trusty Caterpillar diesel engine that dish-out a total of 2,000 horsepower, she should be able to make way with the best of them"

"Any boatbuilder worth his salt knows that success lies in the fundamentals of design and construction. Falter there and no amount of backfilling will save the day. But dial in all the critical points and a promising foundation can be laid. Hampton Yachts nails the fundamentals with this addition to its proven Endurance Series, the 720 EN."

"Few boats display as much practicality as the Hampton Hampton Endurance 720 Skylounge. It’s been designed with a great deal of thought, the seasoned owner of this boat contributing his knowledge, combining with the workmanship of the Hampton yard and the continued development by the team from Leigh-Smith Cruiser Sales, resulting in a very liveable and workable craft."
