From Türkiye to St. John’s, to St. Kitts… and finally Antigua & Barbuda.
A journey shaped by effort, endurance, and trust.
A 15-meter pilot boat, successfully delivered to the Caribbean, reaching the Antigua Barbuda Port Authority safely after navigating seas that test both vessel and crew.
Meet Chief Sam.
Built in collaboration with @planetboaat, this is not just another boat. A testament to what happens when experience, engineering, and the right material come together.
Crafted in HDPE, designed to endure, and built to perform without compromise.
No paint. No unnecessary maintenance. Just pure reliability, year after year.
For the captains who trust their bow in every condition
fair winds and a clear course ahead.
Built to last. Ready to serve.
