We built this boat for the places where there is no dock-because half the construction sites, fishing villages, and island supply runs on this planet don't have a concrete quay to pull up to. The hull beaches itself bow-first on a shallow shoreline, drops the bow ramp, and a pickup, an ATV, or a small piece of machinery drives straight off onto the sand or mud. No crane, no forklift, no barge transfer step. Built in 5083-H116 aluminum and pushed by twin outboards, this vehicle landing craft is the water-link between a road that ends and a site that hasn't been built yet.
How It Works
1.The work cycle is short. The boat runs in bow-first until the hull grounds on the beach, the crew lowers the bow ramp, and the vehicle on board drives off under its own power. Reverse the sequence to load: drive on, secure to the lashing points, raise the ramp, and back off the beach into deeper water.
2.Two design choices make that cycle work in skinny water. First, the boat runs outboards-not inboard shafts, not a stern drive-so there is nothing protruding below the hull to catch on a sandbar, a silt bed, or the edge of a reef. The bottom itself is flat and reinforced with thicker rib plates, so the boat actually sits on the beach rather than hanging off a skeg. Second, the wheelhouse is split and elevated: even while a truck is driving on or off directly in front of the bow, the helmsman sits high enough to see over the cargo, watch the ramp, and hold the boat's position.
3.The open deck has no bulkheads, no wheelhouse in the middle, no steps to drive over-just flat non-slip flooring from ramp to transom.
Application Scenarios
- Island and reef material supply where no jetty exists.
- Short-crossing transport of trucks, pickups, and small construction equipment.
- Roll-on/roll-off delivery of plant to offshore civil-engineering and water-infrastructure sites.
- Aquaculture and tidal-flat operations.
- Tourism and resort island transfers.
- Emergency and disaster-relief supply to cut-off shorelines.

FAQ
Q: Is the hull easily damaged crossing shoals and silt beds?
A: The flat bottom is built with reinforced rib plating, and because the boat uses outboards there is no propeller shaft, strut, or rudder hanging below the hull to catch on a bar or reef.
Q: Can it unload where there is no dock?
A: Yes. The flat-bottom beaching hull and factory-prepared bow-ramp interface let it run straight up onto wild shorelines, intertidal flats, and muddy shoals, where vehicles drive themselves on and off.
Q: How do the crew get up to the wheelhouse?
A: Fixed climbing ladders on both sides. The wheelhouse sits on a hollow support frame that saves weight instead of a solid tower.
Q: Can the size, payload, and wheelhouse layout be customized?
A: Length, payload tonnage, wheelhouse configuration, and ramp dimensions are all adjusted to your requirement.
Q: What range does she have?
A: The fuel tank is sized to the daily crossing you need. The boat is built for short work around a coast, on an inland river, or between islands-single-day supply runs.
Documentation & After-Sales
Every boat is delivered with a full paperwork packet: factory qualification certificate, vessel identification number, classification society / ship survey certificates, hull material test reports, NDT inspection reports, equipment certificates, and the owner's operating manual. The hull carries a 1-year structural warranty against manufacturing defects, with lifetime remote technical support.
We lay out the boat around the loads you actually move and the shorelines you actually land on-hull length, payload, ramp, fuel, and wheelhouse all built to your run.
