These boat details are subject to contract.
This Dover Pilot No 3 was a very well known and well loved pilot boat by the Dover Harbour Pilots. She was the preferred vessel when conditions were bad out at sea.
She started life as a Pilot boat in Dover, She is very well built & the conversion has been carried out to a very high standard. She has a lovely interior too with beautiful floors. The engine sounds amazing too. This vessel is for the discerning boat enthusiast who will value the history, practicality and beauty of this fine sea keeping ex Dover Pilot Vessel.
