About Surfbee
Surfbee was born from a simple observation: hydrographers and surveyors spend too much time managing deployment logistics and not enough time focusing on data quality.
We set out to change that by creating autonomous surface vessels that handle the complexity of deployment, positioning, and navigation—allowing professionals to concentrate on what matters most: collecting accurate, reliable data.
Based in Albury, NSW, Australia, we design and manufacture our vessels with direct input from the surveying community. Every feature, every design decision, every engineering choice is made with one goal in mind: making your job easier and your data better.
Why Surfbee?
Innovation
We continuously evolve our designs based on field feedback and advances in autonomous technology, ensuring you have access to cutting-edge capabilities.
Australian Engineering
Designed and built in Albury, NSW, Australia. Our vessels are developed with direct input from hydrographers and tested in real-world conditions.Precision
We engineer our vessels to deliver survey-grade accuracy. Every component is selected and tested to ensure your data meets professional standards.
Durability
Built to withstand harsh environments and demanding use. Our vessels perform reliably in conditions from calm lakes to challenging coastal waters.
OUR APPROACH
Our vessels automate the mechanical aspects of surveying so you can dedicate your attention to data collection, quality control, and analysis. Position hold, waypoint navigation, and return-to-home aren't just features—they're tools that free up your cognitive bandwidth for higher-value work.
We don't design in isolation. Our vessels are tested by working professionals in real survey conditions. When a hydrographer tells us they need better stability in current, or a surveyor requests quicker setup time, we listen and we iterate.
We know you have specific sensors, specific workflows, and specific requirements. That's why our vessels are built to integrate with your existing equipment and adapt to your methodology—not the other way around.
Every Surfbee vessel is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Australia. We maintain direct control over quality, we support local suppliers, and we stand behind our products with responsive local support.
