A special cruise for school holidays!
A former harbour pilot joins us onboard MV Sootychaser.
A pilots job is to climb onboard a large ship, before it enters the harbour. And to help the captain navigate it down the long, winding channel.
A dangerous place for a big ship!
Does anything ever go wrong? How big is the steering wheel? (helm).
What happens when there is a storm? Ask these questions and learn about what really goes on, in the wheelhouse of a big ship!
And find out what happens in a storm....!
See the pilot boat that transports the pilots to the ships.
Port Chalmers departure is at 10:00am -11am from Back Beach (39 Peninsula Beach Road, Port Chalmers)
Or 10 minutes later from Portobello Wharf (837 Portobello Road).
Cruise is 1 hour in duration.
