The Queen selects Torqeedo

Torqeedo, the market leader in the fast-growing marine electric propulsion industry, has been selected to provide the auxiliary propulsion system for The Queen's Rowbarge, Gloriana.

The company was approached in 2016 to open discussions about re-powering Gloriana, with recommendations given to supply twin Torqeedo Deep Blue 40 Saildrive motors, along with two pairs of battery packs for the vessel, which have been installed in time to meet Gloriana's key spring program of events.

Lord Sterling, Chairman of The Gloriana Trust, which commissioned and underwrote the building of Gloriana in 2011 as a long-term legacy for HM Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, said, "Christoph Ballin and Torqeedo enjoy a very high reputation in the fast-growing electric propulsion industry both for quality and delivery of service. As a high-profile Royal vessel in use on the Thames, Gloriana's 'green' credentials are even more important in these times of the increasing need to improve the environment. My colleagues look forward to working together with Torqeedo in the coming years."

Christoph Ballin, CEO and co-founder of Torqeedo, said, "We are absolutely delighted to have been chosen by The Gloriana Trust to equip HM Rowbarge Gloriana with Torqeedo's Deep Blue 40 Saildrive motors which offer the vessel steady, powerful and reliable performance, as well as protects the environment through the use of environmentally friendly technology. It is a great honor for me and our company to be associated with Gloriana and we very much look forward to a longstanding relationship."

Gloriana was crafted using traditional British timber. She is 90 feet long and rowed by 18 oarsmen. She flies the Royal and City standards, along with the traditional flags of the United Kingdom, and carries 16 crests representing the Realms of the Commonwealth.

Torqeedo Making Green Waves, Again!

Ottawa is a city full of charm and history, graced by scenic waterways. Protecting these assets is a high priority; even their stenciled sidewalks proclaim Ottawa as the "most sustainable city in Canada." Furthering this claim, a new, emission-free electric tour boat now plies the Rideau Canal, powered by two 80 hp Torqeedo electric motors.

Press Coverage

I’m trilled to share this press coverage that will help spread the word that electric/solar-assist boats are a sustainable alternative and are filled with conveniences for enjoying our wonderful waterways...

I think it's a very important attribute that an electric boat should have enough free board (the height of the sides of a boat from the water) and stability in rough water to provide a safe journey for its passengers. In addition, to not drenching everyone on board every time you encounter another boat's wake. Well, that's exactly what the Island Packet L24 Family Launch provides and from my 17 plus years of marketing electric boats, this one get's my highest rating for safety and reliability. This family launch is safe for your family!

Island Packet L24 Remote Control Canopy is a one-of-a-kind convenience you'll always be extremely grateful to have after a full day of boating. Who wants to return to the dock and have to mess with the typical canvas cockpit cover in which your thumbs get really sore after the 10th snap and then you realize you have 30 more to go? Not me, I've never been a fan of snaps on a boat especially around saltwater - the two just don't mix. So two (not sore) thumbs up to Island Packet Yachts for this cleaver cockpit cover!
