Hull Neighborhoods

Spinnaker Island

A distinctive waterfront condo community connected by bridge and recognized as a neighborhood in its own right, with harbor views and quick access to Nantasket Avenue. Formerly Hog Island, it hosted Fort Duvall from 1920 to 1948 to protect Boston Harbor, then served into the early 1970s as a radar and fire-control site for a nearby Nike missile installation.

In the mid‑70s and 80s it was used by the Hull public schools as a middle‑school annex. In 1987 the island was redeveloped into a privately owned townhouse and condominium community of 94 homes. The original marina was destroyed in a storm and never rebuilt. Today Spinnaker is a Hull neighborhood connected by a causeway, not part of the Boston Harbor Islands recreation area, with an active community, pool, social club, fitness center, and private beach.
