Overview

The Cygnus Cyfish Pilot is based on the hull of the successful semi displacement Cygnus Cyfish hull. It can be built in the size 33 to 39 feet and any length in between. Original Cygnus moulds. For those preferring a bigger boat than the Cygnus Cyclone Patrol, this is your number one choice. This bespoke model is aimed at the discriminating owner who wants to use his Cygnus Cyfish Pilot in most conditions all year round. The fact that the Cygnus Cyfish Pilot has been used as search and rescue vessel and pilot tender proves its sea keeping capabilities. This is the benchmark boat for longer cruising trips or to use as angling boat. She will take you and your party home safely. The length of the new Cygnus Cyfish Pilot superstructure can be shortened to provide enough cockpit space for angling or other activities. Internal fit out is completely to owner’s specification. Any interior design from classic boat style to modern light and fresh can be chosen. The choice of materials, fabrics and layout is yours. With a choice of single or twin shaft drives, stern drives, jet drives or surface piercing propellers, your own preferences can be easily met. It can be supplied at any stage of completion for home or local boatyard fit out, or fully finished at our boat-building yard in Ireland. Don’t miss it!
