Some jobs you can't reach from land.
South Florida Seawall runs its own crane barges across Palm Beach and Broward Counties — equipment we own, crews we employ, on waterways we work every day. That means one accountable team from mobilization to demobilization, and honest answers up front about what fits your canal and what doesn't.

Sized for South Florida Canals
Real lifting capacity where larger equipment can't go
Big water is easy. The hard part of marine work here is the canal grid: fixed bridges, narrow cuts, shallow drafts, and backyards with no side-yard access. Our newest barge — a 30' x 12' steel deck barge fitted with an AMCO 810 crane — was purpose-selected for low-bridge canal access, so we can bring real lifting capacity to waterways that keep larger equipment out. We run the Intracoastal daily and work the residential water that feeds it — Lake Worth Lagoon, Lake Boca Raton, the Hillsboro Canal, the Las Olas Isles, the New River and Middle River — so chances are we've already run your canal.
Barge Deliveries
Trees, generators, and oversized loads
Plenty of waterfront properties have no practical way to get a large item to the backyard — no side-yard access, gates too narrow for equipment, or finished landscaping nobody wants torn up. If it can be craned, we can deliver it by water: field-grown trees and mature palms, standby generators, spas and hot tubs, pool and AC equipment, and building materials. We load at an agreed staging point, run the canal, and set the piece from our deck to its final location in a single lift.
For generator projects, we coordinate with your dealer and electrician so the unit lands on its pad ready for hookup. For landscape projects, we work from your landscape architect's plan and set each tree exactly where the plan calls for it.
Who We Work With
Contractors and homeowners, mobilized from the water
For Contractors & Marine Professionals
If the marine portion of your scope needs a barge, you don't have to own one to get it done. General contractors, pool builders, landscape contractors and tree farms, generator dealers and installers, engineers, and dive teams bring us in for the on-water piece: we handle the barge, the crane, the captain, and the marine logistics, and you keep your crew focused on your trade. You get planned mobilization windows, a known day rate, and equipment that shows up maintained and ready.
For Waterfront Homeowners
On many South Florida properties, the seawall and dock are easier to reach by water than by land. Working from a barge means no crane in your driveway, no track equipment across your lawn, and no staging on your pool deck. We mobilize from the water side, do the work, and leave your upland property the way we found it.
Part of a Full Marine Crew
The working platform behind everything we build
The barge is the deck our other crews work from. That same platform sets panels and caps for our seawall builds, drives pilings and frames our docks, sets boat lift components, and supports mechanical dredging — with the heavy equipment side handled through our sister brand, Palm Beach Dredging.
FAQ

Yes. Send us the item’s weight and dimensions, the pickup point, and where it needs to land on the property, and we’ll quote the delivery. Your installer or landscaper handles hookup and planting; we handle everything on the water.
Palm Beach and Broward Counties, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the residential canal systems that feed it.
Yes — our low-profile deck barge was selected specifically for low-bridge canal routes. Tell us the waterway and we’ll confirm access before we quote.
Lift capacity depends on load radius and barge position. Send us the pick weight and site details and we’ll confirm feasibility up front.
