Información / Information about Pilothouse
A "Pilothouse" boat is exactly what it sounds like: she has a pilothouse. The pilothouse can take many forms, but as a rule, true pilothouses enclose the helm station on both sides, the front, and the back, and can be completely sealed off from the elements. That’s why pilothouses are so popular in areas where the boating season may extend into the cooler months of the year, and protection from the elements is critical. Beyond this one key feature, pilothouse boats can take all different designs and sizes.
You’ll see some saltwater fishing boats that are essentially center consoles with a pilot house built around the console;
You’ll see some walkarounds that have cabins forward of the fully-enclosed helm;
And you’ll even see some trawlers that have raised pilothouses, sitting higher than the boat’s main cabin.
