Offered for sale due to the passing of her owner, this Mainship Pilot 30 has been a cherished part of life at Pillar Point Harbor. Moored in one of Northern California’s most iconic working waterfronts, she has enjoyed calm mornings in the harbor, easy coastal cruising, and the unique rhythm of boating life just outside Half Moon Bay. This is a special opportunity for the next captain to carry her story forward.

The Mainship Pilot 30 is perfectly suited to our local waters - equally at home running down the coast to Monterey, exploring the San Francisco Bay, or making weekend trips to the Channel Islands. Her innovative sand-shoe hull design provides full protection for beaching and confident operation in shallow anchorages, while the full keel delivers excellent stability in a beam sea and tracking that feels as steady as riding on rails.

With her timeless Down East styling, complemented by durable, low-maintenance aluminum bow and safety rails, the Pilot 30 is as attractive as it is practical. Whether your passion is fishing outside the harbor, diving along the coast, or relaxed cruising with family and friends, this boat is built to fit the mission.

The spacious, elongated cockpit easily accommodates a group of anglers, and the wide covering boards are ready for an impressive array of rod holders. Divers will appreciate the freshwater washdown and the optional swim platform with ladder for easy water access. Bridgedeck settees provide additional lounging space, double as extra bunks for guests, or offer the perfect spot to soak up the California sun.

Inside the cabin, large V-berths convert to a dinette, while mid-cabin seating creates a cozy retreat for reading or relaxing after a day on the water. The teak-trimmed galley is fully equipped with a two-burner range, refrigerator, sink, and even an icebox. Storage is abundant, and the cabin stays bright and airy thanks to six screened portlights and an overhead hatch.

The generous head includes a Corian countertop, electric toilet, integral shower, mirror, and ample dry storage. Powered by a single diesel engine, the Pilot 30 cruises efficiently at a comfortable speed with excellent fuel economy. Her wood-free exterior requires only simple cleaning and occasional waxing to keep the premium MaxGuard gelcoat shining.

Ergonomically designed for safe and comfortable piloting, the helm offers outstanding visibility, a tilt-out console with room for modern electronics, bow-thruster controls, and sliding helm and companion seats for added comfort underway.
