Enclosed or pilothouse boats come in various shapes, styles, and sizes, but they are distinct from other boat types due to their enclosed helm cabin, which provides the captain with complete weather protection in all conditions.
Benefits of enclosed / pilothouse motor boats
Some benefits of enclosed / pilothouse motor boats include improved communication (as it eliminates the typical wind noise associated with open helms), ample mounting surfaces on the roof for antennas and radomes, and side doors that facilitate easy access to the side decks and bow. Many pilothouses feature reverse-raked windshields reminiscent of commercial workboat designs. While some have spacious helm cabins for crew relaxation, others are designed for just one or two people. Typically, though not always, these cabins are equipped with heating, air conditioning, and accessories like windshield wipers and defoggers, enabling operation in various weather conditions.
Once primarily associated with working vessels, pilothouse designs are now prevalent in many cruisers and yachts. Even some recreational fishing boats are equipped with pilothouses. However, they are most commonly found on cruising boats that boast a traditional aesthetic. This design is particularly advantageous for long-distance cruising, as it allows for comfortable operation regardless of the weather. Consequently, many modern trawlers feature pilothouses, and they are also frequently seen on small yachts designed for owner operation.
