Pilot Boats
Self-righting heavy-weather hulls built for one mission: moving a pilot safely between station and ship in conditions that sideline lesser boats.
§ 01 — About the Pilot Boats
Pilot Boats
Pilot boats live in the worst weather a harbor entrance can produce, and they have to perform every time. We engineer each hull around a self-righting geometry, a heavily reinforced rub-rail and fender system, and a transfer deck that keeps the pilot safe at the moment of greatest risk.
Every weld is inspected to USCG and ABS expectations, and the running gear is specified for decades of high-cycle, all-weather service rather than seasonal use.
