Description

60ft Closed Bow Electric Narrowboat

The Oakums 60ft Closed Bow is designed for extended cruising and comfortable year round living. It combines the privacy and protection of a traditional closed bow with a bright, spacious interior shaped around modern life onboard.

A dedicated mudroom creates a practical transition from the towpath into the main cabin, keeping outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment away from the living space. Beyond this, the saloon, dining area and kitchen flow naturally through the boat, with integrated storage, generous glazing and large skylights creating an open and balanced interior.

The layout includes a spacious saloon, separate dinette, fully equipped kitchen with pantry, private bedroom and contemporary bathroom. Oak joinery, carefully selected stone surfaces and neutral finishes create a warm, refined interior designed for long term durability.

Electric propulsion provides quiet, smooth cruising with minimal vibration, instant torque and precise low speed control. The standard Vetus E Line system is developed specifically for marine use, with the Torkmar electric propulsion system also available as an upgrade.

• 51.2V modular lithium battery storage
