Dumbo is a versatile 20-tonne dumb barge and is purpose-built for the small, narrow waterways of Brisbane.

Dumbo is perfect for bridge maintenance, sand replenishments in lakes, rock armouring and jetty removals. Dumbo can also be used alongside our other workboats for those bigger jobs.

Our range of work punts includes:

• Elvis - our 5.9 metre work boat with a flat deck, engineered roof that’s perfect for bridge work, film crews and crew logistical support.

• Sassy - another 5.9 metre work punt and fitted with a push frame that makes light work of marine logistics wherever you are in the Gold Coast.

Fitted with a 1-tonne crane and purpose-built as a mooring barge, Kirra is incredibly versatile and is perfect for all kinds of riverwork including bridge maintenance, staff and equipment logistics and firework placements for New Year’s Eve.
