Description

These boat details are subject to contract.

This Pilot Vessel is a fully operational work boat licensed by the Port Of London Authorities to carry up to 16 people. Built in 1967 by James W Cook & Co with the main purpose as a pilot vessel and fitted with a Kelvin 8 cylinder 240hp diesel engine for long range economical cruising.

This boat has been maintained to a exceptional standard due to her commercial work based on the Red Sand towers in the Thames Estuary. Other onboard equipment includes a full fire safety system, life jackets etc.

The boat has just passed an out of water inspection for the PLA plus a new Hull thickness Survey. The commercial Licence has also been renewed.
There is also a 2021 dry dock hull survey available.

This fabulous pilot boat is a really lovely vessel. She has a special charm and was a pleasure to photograph. Pilot vessels are small, sturdy and powerful vessels that can manoeuvre ships as well. I really wish that I could buy this pilot boat and take people for excursions to the Thames!

She looks as if she has been well maintained for commercial standards and the owner informs me that one of her last exciting ventures was to star in the film World War Z that Brad Pitt appeared in.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
