Striker pilot boats are designed and
developed specifically for pilot service. The
hull shape evolved from successful Striker
aluminum fishing yachts, famous for their
outstanding sea worthiness record in
adverse sea conditions.
The current design features of the Striker
pilot vessels reflect the cumulative
experience gained through feed back from
different pilots operating these vessels
around the world.
Strikers are all weather pilot boats, easy to
control and to handle in close quarters while
outstanding in its seaworthiness in any kind
of sea condition. It is a rugged work boat,
economical to operate and requires minimal
maintenance by virtue of its corrosion free
marine aluminum construction.
