Our Fleet

VMR Bribie maintains a fleet of three State of the Art rescue vessels.  Each vessel is ideally suited to respond to particular requirements.  Bribie 1 can handle the heavy seas outside Moreton Island, and is also our primary Medivac vessel.  Bribie 2 can handle the tricky Moreton Bay chop while working close to other vessels, as well as doing heavier work up the Pumicestone Passage.  Bribie 3 is well suited to the shallow and treacherous waters (and mud) of Pumicestone Passage.  With these vessels, VMR Bribie can take on any maritime challenge in pursuit of our goal to save lives at sea.
