Over the past ten years, Ovation Boats has built a loyal client base dedicated to high-quality, commissioned narrowboats. Known for a meticulous approach to craftsmanship, the team has embraced the shift toward sustainable cruising by integrating advanced hybrid and electric systems into their builds.

Ovation frequently collaborates with Hybrid Marine, utilizing both Beta Marine and Barrus setups. Notably, they were the first to launch a narrowboat featuring the new Beta Marine Hybrid system. This innovative vessel was recently showcased at the Crick Boat Show, where it resonated strongly with the public and took home the award for second favourite boat in show. For boaters looking for completely silent, zero-emission cruising, Ovation builds pure electric propulsion systems powered by Lynch Motors.

To support these modern drive trains, energy storage setups are tailored to each owner’s needs, ranging from traditional traction batteries to increasingly popular lithium options from Pylontech or Leoch. The onboard power management is similarly robust, relying on trusted Victron Energy components for inverters, chargers, and MPPT solar controllers.

For those looking to start their own boating journey, the team welcomes potential customers to visit their workshop by appointment at NG11 0EB. It is a great opportunity to see current builds in progress, meet the team and discuss bespoke commissions.
