Pilot House Boats

Pilot house boats are also called pilothouse yachts. These boats are designed and laid out to allow the crew to keep watch without being on the deck. The watch crew is inside a room that has visibility all around. This protects the crewmember from the elements. The steering position on a pilot house boat is typically located within the pilothouse itself, but it is not a requirement of the design. Most pilot house boats are equipped with home like amenities to make travel comfortable and luxurious for the owners and their guests. Pilot house boats are ready for ocean travel. The price of used pilot house boats begin at about $54,000 for a 24 foot 2005 model 252 Coastal Pilothouse by Wellcraft Boats or $359,000 for a 46 foot 2002 450 Voyager Pilothouse by Carver Yachts. New pilot house boat pricing can be obtained from the dealership and depends on the size, manufacturer, standard features as well as any optional amenities chosen by the owner. The price of new pilot house boats can begin at $1,800,000 for a 73 foot 2010 private label brand. Popular manufacturers of Pilot House boats are Wellcraft Boats, Carver Yachts, and Jefferson Yachts.
