As a full custom boatbuilder, we don't only build offshore capable commercial fishing boats, fast RIBs, patrol boats, and high performance pilot boats. A case in point from 2018: this small but mighty work boat for Pilbara Ports. Certainly not the biggest boat in our track record, and far from the biggest vessel you'll see in Port Hedland but important nonetheless Contact us if you need a vessel solution customised to your commercial, government or personal needs.

Catching up on some long overdue information updates after a busy second half of 2024. First up, is Elusive., a 23.7 metre lobster fishing boat delivered to highly experienced Western Australian fisherman Terry Lissiman in May 2024. This newbuild project exemplifies the ability of Dongara Marine and Southerly Designs to support innovation through the flexibility of custom design and build centered around customer preferences. Terry brought his extensive industry knowledge to the table during the design process and continued to be heavily involved in the production and outfit process, ensuring that Elusive. is not only the newest but also one of the most highly customised crayboats in the Western Australian fleet. While known to be mistaken for a leisure craft by the casual onlooker, Elusive. blends practicality, performance, and comfort in a vessel that is ultimately designed to withstand the demands of commercial fishing and perform profitably within that context. As is common with many of Dongara Marine builds, the boat features an aluminium hull paired with a composite wheelhouse, including a large cantilevered work deck shelter and distinctive bimini for the flybridge. Powered by two MAN D2868 LE436 engines, each delivering 895kW to Veem propellers via ZF 2000V gearboxes, the vessel achieved a full power speed of 25.9 knots and cruises comfortably at 19 knots. Another key feature that sets Elusive. apart is the Seakeeper gyrostabiliser, a first for Dongara Marine in a newly built commercial lobster fishing vessel. Selected by Lissiman, the system proved capable of notable roll motion reduction during trials. The vessel is in survey to work with between two and five crew and provides overnight accommodation for up to eight people. The spacious aft work deck provides ample room for fishing operations, while the flybridge provides the raised vantage point for control and navigation that many operators seek. Inside the vessel, the wheelhouse is equipped with advanced electronics from Geraldton Marine Electronics (WA) Pty Ltd. Live lobster capacity is 90 baskets, equating to some 2.7 tonnes, ensuring Elusive. is equipped for high-yield fishing trips. With a fuel capacity of 7,000 litres and 900 litres of fresh water, it can also operate for extended periods without refuelling.
