Since its founding in 1881, the Sabine Pilots have played a vital role in guiding vessels through the challenging waters of Sabine Pass. From the early days of navigating wooden schooners to managing the intricate demands of modern shipping, our pilots have continuously adapted to the evolving needs of maritime trade. The foundation laid by those first pilots has grown into a tradition of exceptional service and dedication, making the Sabine Pilots an integral part of Southeast Texas’ maritime history.
