Antique and Classics Whitewater

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.

Reconditioned Johnson 50 HP engine
Includes a roadworthy 2-axle trailer for convenient transport

Currently winterized and stored indoors in Waukegan, IL, "Whitewater" is available for private showings by appointment. Sold as-is, where-is.

Summary

This is a rare opportunity to own a unique, Swiss-built wooden classic. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy her on the water this season.

Client Testimonials

«When things weren't working out with my previous Yacht Broker, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Yacht Access to sell my Sea Ray. I contacted Dan Paolillo at Yacht Access and there was absolutely no pressure. After our initial conversation Dan followed up with a list of comparable vessels recently sold and a list of similar vessels currently available with asking prices. After looking over the information we decided on an asking price and within 90 days Dan had my yacht under contract. Two weeks later it was sold. Since then we've kept in close touch and will hopefully be closing on my next vessel soon. After no success selling my 48' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge with my previous broker, calling Yacht Access was the best decision I ever made. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to contact these professionals.»
