The Orkney Pilot Boats are predominantly used to guide other marine vessels in congested and dangerous waters like river mouths or harbours. Easily identifiable, the pilot boat contains a signal flag, coloured red and white during the daytime. At night it can be seen and identified by a white light seen over a red light. Both sides of the cabin also have the word ‘PILOT’ clearly inscribed on them.

Operating for over 40 years, Orkney Boats are often involved in the construction of commercial crafts, leisure boats and sea angling.  Typically these boats can be found in many harbours around the world, along with the company’s other range of boats that include, Pilot House 27, Pilot House 24 and Pilot House 20. 

Using original boat plans and drawing our skilled artisans have used the highest quality materials in constructing this elegant model boat, which showcase superb detail of the original.

With over 12 years of experience, we offer our customers a range of services. Our custom build process includes a Model Maker’s Brief that details the specifications of your boat model and professional photographs supplied to the client during the building process.
