46ft Aluminium Work Boat – Large Deck & 2C Survey

$168,000 plus GST
DESCRIPTION

Large Commercial Work Boat with Excellent Deck Space

This 46ft aluminium work boat offers commercial operators a substantial and versatile working platform with a large open deck, strong machinery package and excellent overall presentation.

Built in 1992, the vessel remains in very good overall condition and provides the size and deck space required for a wide range of commercial marine applications.

The vessel holds 2C and 3C survey classifications, with the current 2C survey covering 4 passengers plus 2 crew. She is not currently surveyed for passenger operations, making her best suited to commercial work boat applications. Buyers should confirm the certification requirements for their intended operation.

The owner completed the vessel's 10-year survey in 2025 and slipped her again in January 2026, maintaining her in very good overall condition.

Built for Commercial Work

The large working deck is one of this vessel's strongest features.

At 46 feet, she provides significantly more usable working area than smaller commercial work boats, making her suitable for operators who need to carry equipment, tools, machinery or deck cargo.

The aluminium construction provides a strong and practical commercial platform, while the vessel's hydraulic bow thruster assists manoeuvring in confined areas and during close-quarter operations.

Potential applications include:

  • Marine construction
  • Marine maintenance
  • Survey and inspection work
  • Aquaculture support
  • Dive support
  • Coastal infrastructure
  • Crew and equipment transport
  • General commercial work
  • Government and contractor operations

Rebuilt Detroit V692

The vessel is powered by a Detroit V692 diesel engine, which has completed approximately 1,650 hours since rebuild.

The engine provides a proven commercial powerplant, while the vessel's hydraulic bow thruster adds useful manoeuvrability when working around wharves, structures and other vessels.

Well Equipped Navigation and Deck Systems

The vessel comes equipped with a practical package of commercial equipment, including:

  • 2 x Furuno sounders
  • Furuno plotter
  • TMQ autopilot
  • Hydraulic bow thruster
  • 2 x capstans
  • 240V inverter

This equipment package provides a solid foundation for operators requiring reliable navigation, manoeuvring and deck-handling capability.

Recent Survey and Maintenance

The vessel has undergone significant recent attention.

A 10-year survey was completed in 2025, followed by another haul-out in January 2026.

Combined with the vessel's very good overall condition, this gives prospective buyers an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained commercial work platform rather than a vessel requiring immediate major refurbishment.
