Three pilot companies operate launches from Queenscliff. They take pilots to and from the shipping that comes through Port Phillip heads to the ports of Melbourne and Geelong.
Great rough weather footage thankyou. Why doesn’t someone make small boats like these pilot boats,so much safer and seaworthy. Say 20 feet with an outboard.
awesome boats, we used to like going down there to watch the boats and ships
Excellent video. Some great footage of the pilot ships.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks
I guess they do go back M/T.
Imagine owning one of these and going around Oz fishing. That is a retirement option that i could sell the house for
The fuel bill might be a hurdle.
@@daff.wallace2267Would it work out to be around 5 grand per full tank?
@@peterdalmationcro4217 Fuel capcity for these are 2 x 1250 litre tanks so work it out from that on a good day of the diesel price.

These boats are almost 20 metres long. Go to the marina in Queenscliff and turn left, the pilot boats are birthed there.
They are 17.3 metres long at Queenscliff the odd one is Nepean which is 18.1 metres.
