Pilot Boat

A pilot boat is a specially designed vessel used to transport maritime pilots between the shore and large ships entering or leaving ports. Maritime pilots are experienced navigators who guide vessels through complex or congested waters to ensure safe and efficient navigation. The pilot boat approaches the larger ship, and the pilot boards it to steer the vessel through challenging areas before departing back to the shore. These boats are built for stability, speed, and maneuverability to operate effectively in diverse maritime conditions, playing a critical role in port safety and navigation.
