Listing Summary

Experience timeless craftsmanship and elegance with "Whitewater," a beautifully designed John Atkins 22-foot wooden tender with outboard engine. Recently restored with new canvas and engine service, this lovely day boat is ready to go for a cruise. In 2023, she received a professional refurbishment by Bergerson Boats of Lake Geneva, WI, so she’s in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically. The perfect dayboat for the lake or even a small tour/ charter boat.

Design & Build History

Designed by the renowned John Atkins and handcrafted in 1991 by Stephan Auer in Geneva, Switzerland, this classic vessel is a true collector’s gem! Originally commissioned by the current owner’s uncle, "Whitewater" is constructed from Illinois oak with a striking walnut helm, a testament to her exquisite materials and attention to detail. Ideal for peaceful morning or evening cruises and shoreline tours on the lakes and rivers, she offers a blend of old-world charm and modern comfort.
