An important feature of Tranquility is her wonderfully sociable stern – great energy back here! This semi-cruiser layout comfortably seats four people together with ample space for each. The synthetic teak gives this area a very warm and comfortable feel, but it’s super easy to maintain.

Descend the steps of this reverse layout narrowboat, and you’ll have the electrical cupboard on your right (keeping the energy flowing!) and storage cupboard/cloakroom on your left. At the bottom, you’re into the kitchen where there is ample space to cook. Here at Mothership Marine, we believe living space is more important than just storage. To facilitate this, we trim the kitchen units with the same reclaimed timber used elsewhere in the boat. Extra storage under the floor makes an ideal space to store wine.

At the end of the kitchen is a comfortably sized breakfast bar.

In the saloon, you’ll find two custom-made ‘chaise longues’ These are multifunctional and transform from chaise longues in 2 single beds or even a dining room table for six. 

On the forward bulkhead of the saloon is a Reflecs stove with back boiler to heat radiators on the port side. On the starboard side, there’s a bookshelf and a foldable writing desk.

In the bathroom, you’ll find a composting toilet ,wash basin and a 2’ by 3’ shower.

In the bedroom is Mothership Marine’s electrically operated ‘Drawbridge Bed’. When lowered the bed measures 5’ by 6’6”. It’s worth mentioning that being able to walk through the centre of your bed space to access the well deck is a wonderfully practical solution.

Houses have conservatories, narrowboats have cratches, they’re lovely places to hide away when there’s a little warmth from the sun and a chill in the air.  This particular scratch has mesh windows aswell which means in the summer the front doors can be left open and there is a nice free flow of air across the bedroom area.
