Hinterhoeller Yachts was a Canadian boat builder based in St. Catharines, Ontario. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of fiberglass sailboats.[1]

The company was originally founded by George Hinterhoeller as Hinterhoeller Limited in Niagara-on-the-Lake, when he started boatbuilding in 1956. It was absorbed into C&C Yachts when he helped found that company in 1969. He sold his C&C shares in 1975 and restarted his own company in 1977. The company was wound-up in 1995 and Hinterhoeller died in 1999.[1][2][3]
