Introducing The Punt II
Introducing The Punt II — Our Trailerable 6 m × 2.4 m Work Punt for Victoria-Wide Projects
Meet The Punt II, Melbourne Boat Hire’s newest commercial workboat. At 6 m × 2.4 m and fully trailerable, this flat-deck punt is built for rapid mobilisation anywhere in Victoria—ideal for tight access sites, short program windows, and projects that need a stable platform on the water without the fuss.
Why The Punt II?
- Victoria-wide, fast to site – Trailerable setup reduces transport time and costs, allowing for quick launches from standard ramps.
- Stable, open deck – Flat, uncluttered working area for tools, small plant, sampling gear, or light materials.
- Shallow-draft versatility – Operates confidently in rivers, marinas, and nearshore zones where depth is limited.
- Professional crews – Available with AMSA-certified skipper/crew, documentation, and safety support.

- Floating walkway installs: component transfer, spotter platform, light anchoring support.
- Survey & environmental: water sampling, bathymetric/ROV support, turbidity monitoring.
- Film/TV & events: camera/crew boat, media platforms, safety standby on activations.
