Have you ever wanted to watch a marine pilot in action?

Last night, TasPorts was delighted to offer up for auction a pilot boat experience to support Cancer Council Tasmania's 25th Anniversary Gala in Launceston.

A second experience will be offered at the Cancer Council Tasmania Gala in Hobart next month.
