Equipment Transport by Water Taxi
Practical transport for suitable tools, supplies and equipment across Sydney Harbour.
Marine equipment deliveries around Sydney Harbour
Need to move equipment to a waterfront property, marina, vessel or harbour event? H2O Water Taxis can assist with water taxi transport of suitable equipment and supplies, where the load can be carried safely on our passenger vessels.
Our service is designed for manageable loads and straightforward wharf-to-wharf movements. We do not operate barges or offer roof loading. Heavy machinery, oversized freight and loads requiring specialist lifting equipment are outside this service.
What can we help transport?
Events and functions
Suitable event supplies, boxes, small equipment and materials needed at waterfront venues or harbour locations, subject to safe handling and available space.
Film and production
Crew and suitable production equipment travelling to accessible harbour pickup points, vessels and locations.
Waterfront properties
Tools, supplies and manageable materials for waterfront properties with an accessible wharf or pontoon.
Marine and vessel support
Small equipment and supplies for boats, marinas and marine projects, where an appropriate transfer point is available.
How equipment transport works
- Tell us what you need moved: equipment description, number of items, approximate dimensions and total weight.
- Provide pickup and destination: the wharf, marina, pontoon or vessel details, plus your preferred date and time.
- We assess suitability: loading access, passenger numbers, vessel space, safe handling and any special requirements.
- Receive a tailored quote: pricing depends on the route, load, timing and operational arrangements.
Important transport limitations
Equipment must fit safely within the vessel and must not obstruct passenger movement, exits or safety equipment. All movements depend on suitable wharf access, weather, vessel availability and the skipper’s safety assessment. We do not provide beach landings, crane lifts, barge hire or roof loading.
Frequently asked questions
Do you still hire barges?
No. H2O Water Taxis no longer offers barge hire. We may be able to transport suitable smaller equipment and supplies by water taxi.
Can you transport tools and event supplies?
Often, yes, provided the items can be safely loaded, secured and carried on the available vessel. Please provide dimensions, weight and item details when enquiring.
Can you deliver to a waterfront property?
Where there is an accessible, suitable wharf or pontoon and safe loading arrangements, we can assess the trip. We do not offer beach landings.
Can passengers travel with the equipment?
This may be possible depending on the passenger count, equipment volume and vessel capacity. We will assess each request.
How much does equipment transport cost?
Equipment movements are quoted individually. The price depends on the route, items, handling requirements and timing.
