WorkBoat December 2025 – Volume 83 Edition 01

The January edition of WorkBoat highlights the best of the best: our 2025 Significant Boats award winners. From cleaner-burning, more efficient ferries to the largest towboat ever built for U.S. inland waterways, this year’s honorees represent the full spectrum of our industry. Any could have claimed the top prize, which ultimately went to a pair of capable launches built for the Houston Pilots. The issue also features an interview with Roy Breaux Jr., whose shipyard built the award-winning pilot boats, along with much more — including two stories from WorkBoat’s recent trip to New Zealand. Open it up. There’s plenty to explore.
