Mothership Torkmar

Mothership Marine are award-winning experts in solar-powered narrowboats. Our mission is to combine traditional craftsmanship with the world’s most advanced propulsion. Tim Knox explains: ‘A majority of the power used on the boat comes from the sun.’

To achieve this, we have partnered with Törkmar, the specialist electric boat solutions company. Törkmar provides the integrated technological heart of our vessels, moving beyond simple components to offer a verified, end-to-end electric ecosystem designed for the rigours of life on the water.

The Törkmar advantage includes high-torque near-silent motors, advanced lithium banks, and signature "walk-on" solar panels that fit seamlessly to a narrowboat roof. While we utilise this cutting-edge tech, we maintain a ‘country cottage’ ambience inside—a peaceful antidote to modern stress.

With Törkmar harvesting the sun’s energy, the only sounds are birds and lapping water. We make the ‘yesteryear’ sensation of our waterways a reality today.
