Are you looking for a barge for your next project? Gold Coast Barges has a small but mighty fleet of barges available for hire. Our fleet ranges from smaller work punts to large-scale landing barges and everything in between. All our barges and workboats are fully insured and are all approved by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
Our fleet includes:
Designed for tough canal and river operations, Icebreaker is your reliable solution for efficient and quick results. Sitting at 12 metres, this self-propelled landing barge comes equipped with a 5.5-tonne extended reach excavator and a skid steer, making it ideal for heavy lifting and construction projects on Gold Coast waters.
Dumbo is a versatile 20-tonne dumb barge and is purpose-built for the small, narrow waterways of the Gold Coast. It can be split into two and pushed throughout these canals, making it easier to access hard-to-reach worksites. 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:
Gold Coast Barges also offer a selection of smaller workpunts, commercial boats and modular working platforms (MWPS), suitable for a range of different industries from construction to film and television and events.
At Gold Coast Barges, we specialise in clearing and removal of built-up sand and silt under your canal pontoon. To ensure that your pontoon can be enjoyed for years to come, we recommend scheduling regular maintenance and repairs at least once a year.
Due to the size and specifications of our barges and excavation machinery, we can complete dredging on a wide variety of different pontoons with high-quality results. Our dedicated team has extensive experience working with all styles of pontoons on rivers, canals, waterways in and around the Gold Coast, including:
Our fleet of barges is also ready to tackle removing sand, fixing flood damage, marine mud and debris from in and around your canal pontoon to ensure it lasts for years to come.
Did you know that your canal and river revetment wall needs regular maintenance? Our highly-trained technicians recommend servicing your canal and revetment wall at least twice a year. Our team will work with you to figure out the best time to schedule in our comprehensive maintenance services, keeping your canal wall functional and working properly.
Being proactive and scheduling biannual maintenance will drastically improve the lifespan and overall health of your canal and revetment wall. We offer comprehensive monitoring, repair and maintenance services for all different types of revetment walls for both river and canal-based homes.
Has your fishing boat sunk in the Gold Coast? Or perhaps there’s an abandoned houseboat in your local river? Our skilled and experienced team offers a range of services to refloat, relocate, remove and dispose of any vessel, no matter the condition.
From boats and yachts, to houseboats, barges, rusty hulls and other marine obstructions, we’ve successfully salvaged them all. If it’s on the water, Gold Coast Barges can handle it. Let us take care of your marine salvage needs quickly and effectively wherever you live on the Gold Coast.
Has your waterfront structure seen better days? Is your pontoon crumbling before your very eyes? Gold Coast Barges are more than a barge hire service - we also work diligently to remove and repair unsightly jetties within the hour, all over the Gold Coast.
Many jetties across South East Queensland were built using asbestos materials. It sounds scary, but try not to panic.
