Before the invention of the gasoline engine, the Whitehall was the boat of choice for the working harbor. Whitehalls delivered goods, legal and otherwise, to arriving ships, ferried passengers from ship to shore as water taxis, and were even pressed into service by the shore patrol to chase down crimps and ne’er-do-wells.
Our version of this storied design is built for the person or family who appreciates the look and performance of a true classic. We’ve combined the traditional lapstrake style above the waterline with a smooth bottom, achieving the ideal balance of appearance, strength, and light weight.
Rowboat — A pure rowing Whitehall, fast and graceful under oar. Easily carries three passengers, and with one or two people rowing, she achieves remarkable speed.
Sailboat with Sloop Rig — Adds a sloop rig for smooth, confident sailing with excellent performance on all points of sail. A beautiful combination of rowing and sailing in one classic hull.
The long waterline gives the Whitehall a natural carry, with a steady stroke, she’ll stay near hull speed with minimal effort. The straight stem and narrow entry slice through chop for a smooth ride, even when the weather kicks up. Whether you’re fishing in the bay, rowing out to catch a sunrise, picnicking on the far shore, or letting the cares of the week float away on a Sunday afternoon sail, the Whitehall is fast, stable, and endlessly enjoyable.
