The Niagara 30 represents a pivotal chapter in the history of Hinterhoeller Yachts, emerging as a refined, midsized cruiser designed by Mark Ellis during the height of the builder’s reputation for uncompromising Canadian craftsmanship. Positioned to bridge the gap between the entrylevel Niagara 26 and the legendary Niagara 35, the 30 was engineered for the varied and often challenging conditions of the Great Lakes and the North Atlantic coast. Unlike its sibling, the Niagara 31—which was a performanceoriented Germán Frers design—the Niagara 30 was penned by Ellis to prioritize volume, stability, and ease of handling for the cruising couple. Production took place in the St. Catharines facility, where Hinterhoeller’s team employed highquality fiberglass layups and meticulous interior joinery that have allowed these vessels to age gracefully, maintaining a strong following on the used market today.
