Helius is a very beautiful narrowboat. Her home berth will be on the River Thames. She have been designed for a couple who have owned many narrowboats. Helius is a culmination of a lot of experience on the water.
Helius has been built by Mothership Marine Ltd in their factory in Oundle in Northamptonshire. Mothership is a very environmentally conscious company. They only build solar electric boats. Most of the timber used in building the boats is reclaimed. Helius has a solid oak interior that’s been stained dark to enhance the aged feeling. The wood is also quite uneven and gives the impression that the boards have been walked on for hundreds of years.
That said, all the systems on board are state of the art. Business owner Tim Knox states “The technology needs to be so good you never have to think about it.”
Some of the features include:
- Drawbridge bed
- Double chaise longues
- Bespoke shower

- Quooker tap
- Dishwasher

Helius has been built to the highest standards on a superb Jonathan Wilson hull. She is a bespoke vessel and a joy to sail.
