Introducing the ORC range of British built pilot launches to the UK market.
These modern craft are time-proven worldwide: over 50 boats have been built in different configurations, designed by reputable French naval architects, Pantocarene.

The ORC Pilot Craft have a modern hull design offering a double chine with forward ‘beak’ that gives exceptional performance in head seas, reducing slamming and vertical accelerations.

Comforts for the Crew
Crew comfort is paramount with an acoustically separate wheelhouse fitted on cushioned feet, plus suspended seating for all the crew and optional air conditioned climate control.
