Minotaur is a tough little unit - an 11.2m aluminium hard chine monohull that punches well above her weight. Designed for barge support, towing, and general inshore marine work, she's a nimble and reliable workboat that's ready to get stuck in.
Powered by twin 350HP Yanmars and pushing through fixed-pitch props in kort nozzles, Minotaur delivers a solid 6.5-tonne bollard pull and cruises comfortably at 10 knots, with a top speed of 16 knots when needed. She's in 2C AMSA survey for 2 crew plus 8 special personnel making her ideal for site support, crew transfer, or light towage.
She's kitted out with a modern bridge and comms package including all the essentials: GPS, Raymarine plotter, AIS, echo sounder, VHF, and a Mase genset delivering 6.1kVA single-phase power. Hydraulic steering, 2 x 400L diesel tanks, and a 60L hydraulic oil tank round out a setup that's simple, efficient, and easy to maintain.
With a shallow 1.2m draft and just 9.5 tonnes displacement, Minotaur is perfect for tight access jobs, beach landings, or working alongside pontoons and barges. Whether you're shifting gear, towing, or running support for a dredge, she's a dependable bit of kit.
Currently located in Victoria, Minotaur is available for immediate sale as part of a package of 6 vessels, making a versatile in-shore contruction fleet. The other assets in this package include an 18m steel multicat, 15m steel twin-screw tug, 24m dumb-barge, 15m self-propelled work barge and a 7.5m 2D work punt and trailer.
