Ninigret 22ft Classic Wooden Utility Cruiser

The Ninigret is a compact and efficient wooden utility cruiser designed for coastal cruising, fishing, and recreational exploration. Its sharp entry, flared bow, protected cockpit, and efficient hull provide stable and confident handling on large lakes and sheltered coastal waters.

Handcrafted in our workshop from premium Mahogany, Western Red Cedar, and Teak, each boat is reinforced with fiberglass cloth and sealed with high-grade marine epoxy. Traditional lapstrake (clinker) construction gives the hull its distinctive character, while carefully finished woodwork, marine-grade upholstery, and polished hardware combine classic style with modern comfort.

Performance & Use

The Ninigret is designed for efficient cruising on lakes, coastal bays, and sheltered waters. Its streamlined hull provides steady tracking, responsive handling, and efficient performance, making it suitable for longer recreational trips without requiring high horsepower.

The protected cockpit provides a practical space for fishing, cruising, or enjoying time on the water, while the optional cuddy cabin adds flexibility for longer outings.

Custom Build

Each Ninigret is built to order and can be customized with different wood species, finishes, upholstery, hardware, cockpit arrangements, cabin options, and propulsion configurations.

Typical build time is 4–6 months, depending on customization and specifications.

Our Ninigret boats are built from authorized Atkin plans, with full credit given to the original designers. For each commission, we obtain the appropriate plans and construct the vessel to order. Full-size boats and finely detailed scale models are available.
