KIMBERLEY COASTAL PILOTS

THE KIMBERLEY MARITIME EXPERTS

The Kimberley spans thousands of kilometres of some of the most beautiful, natural, isolated and rugged archipelagos and landscapes that still remain untouched. A truly magical place to visit, like no other in the world. The Kimberley coastlines and waterways are also some of the most treacherous on the globe, with the highest astronomical tides, winding through thousands of stunning islands and narrow channels, making navigation hazardous and challenging. Kimberley Coastal Pilots are the leaders in navigation through these waters, with more than thirty years experience in safely taking cruise ships up to 330M in length through this incredible area. The vast local knowledge held by Kimberley Coastal Pilots are available to assist vessels in voyage planning and pilotage to ensure safe passage through the most spectacular parts of the unparalleled wilderness area that is the Kimberley of Western Australia.
