Our pilots

There are currently 20 licensed pilots for the port of Charleston, all of which have completed a 3-year apprenticeship and attained the rank of Full Branch Pilot, which authorizes them to pilot vessels of any size.

They also each hold a first class pilot endorsement from the USCG, also applicable to vessels of any size.
