Heavy-Duty Transportation

The Barge Guys transports construction materials, machinery and oversized loads across Lake Winnipesaukee. This is particularly useful for island properties and waterfront locations where conventional road access is limited or unavailable.

Shoreline Hardscapes

The company’s barges support construction of waterfront hardscapes, including retaining walls, breakwaters and other shoreline structures. Specialized water access allows heavy materials and equipment to be positioned where they are needed along the shoreline.

Dredging & Environmental Services

The Barge Guys provides barge-supported dredging and environmental work, including sediment removal, shoreline restoration and projects intended to improve water depth around docks and waterfront properties.

Island & Water-Access Projects

For properties accessible only by water, the company can transport crews, construction equipment and materials to the job site. This makes its fleet useful for island construction, shoreline improvements and other projects where land-based equipment cannot easily reach the property.

Dock Solutions

The Barge Guys partners with Raise-A-Dock to support projects involving dock construction and installation. This allows customers undertaking broader waterfront projects to coordinate barge access with dock-related work.

Barge Rentals & Crewed Service

Customers can choose between bare-barge rentals and full-service options with crews and certified captains, depending on the needs of the project.

Best For

The Barge Guys is a strong choice for Lake Winnipesaukee homeowners, island-property owners and contractors needing barge transportation, shoreline construction support, dredging, breakwater work or heavy equipment and materials moved by water.
