Charnwood Hobbit

Overview

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.
