Hudson River Pilots Assoc

The Hudson River Pilots Association, established in 1958, is a group of federally and state-licensed pilots dedicated to safely guiding vessels along the navigable waters of the Hudson River, from Yonkers to Albany. With a focus on environmental protection and efficient commerce, they navigate a 56-mile transit that includes passing under six bridges and maneuvering through challenging turns, ensuring safe passage for a variety of vessels.

In addition to their pilotage services, the Association provides launch services for vessels not requiring pilotage, accommodating various needs such as crew changes and mechanical assistance. They also cater to foreign and enrolled yachts, ensuring safe navigation through the Hudson River, especially during adverse weather conditions like hurricanes.
