Welcome to the ‘Charnwood Hobbit’ range of steel narrowboats. 2+2 berth, all electric propulsion (diesel option if required) over a range of four boat lengths: 42’, 37’, 32’ & 27’.
The ‘Hobbit’ concept is very similar to an all-electric car, with around two days cruising before needing a charge either by having returned to base or a planned excursion to a marina charge point. As an alternative, the cruising range can be extended with on-board solar and/or generator.
The ‘Hobbit’ range was developed for keeping the comforts of modern boating within reasonable costs, both in terms of initial purchase and ongoing running costs, including mooring / licence fees.
All ‘Charnwood Hobbit’ boats are Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) and Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) compliant.

About Ovation Boats.
We are small personal team of professional boatbuilders with a range of skills from apprentice to experienced.
Offering a broad spectrum of ‘Charnwood’ fully fitted steel boats from the all-electric short narrowboat ‘Charnwood Hobbit’ to the Dutch barge style ‘Charnwood Euro’.
The ‘Charnwood Edge’ on spec narrowboat and ‘Charnwood Choice’, built to your specification, remain ever popular.
Collectively, and with many years’ experience both at a personal and professional level, we understand what works well and what makes for a good boating experience.
Pure electric drive with Lithium batteries designed to give approximately 8 – 10 hours of use on still waters (canals) and some occasional use on slow flowing rivers before needing a charge.
‘Hobbit’: 42’ & 37’ with Marlin 8kW 48volt electric motor.
‘Hobbit’: 32’ & 27’ with Marlin 5kW 48volt electric motor.
As an alternative to the pure electric drive, the ‘Charnwood Hobbit’ can be supplied with a standard diesel engine with PRM mechanical gearbox.
