Don’t have your Recreational Marine Driver’s Licence? That’s OK – we have options to suit you too.

Townsville Boat Hire provides short and long-term hire for a range of commercial jobs, from safety boats to water sampling and government work.
We have hire and drive options (including boats that don’t require a Recreational Marine Driver’s Licence) across several vessels. Safety is always of paramount importance.
We can charge by the day, or by the project. Contact us for a quote.
