To lead the movement toward clean, quiet, and sustainable marine transportation. We design and build electric vessels and charging systems that eliminate emissions while enhancing performance and reliability on the water. Our goal is to make zero-emission boating practical and appealing for both commercial and recreational users. By advancing electric propulsion and renewable marine infrastructure, we aim to create a cleaner and more sustainable future for waterways everywhere.
Our Mission
Our Story
Templar Marine is a Canadian marine technology company advancing zero-emission boating through electric propulsion, hydrofoil innovation, and sustainable marine infrastructure. Building on the heritage of the original Templar 26 electric boat design, the company is expanding production in Eastern Canada while modernizing the line with enhanced drivetrain systems, smart controls, and lightweight materials.
At its core, Templar Marine’s mission is to redefine marine mobility through clean energy and efficiency. Each vessel is 100% electric, quiet, and emission-free, engineered for leisure, commercial, and tour applications across North America and beyond. The company’s roadmap includes next-generation hydrofoil and hull systems to extend range, increase speed, and improve ride stability while reducing drag and power consumption.
Complementing its vessels, Templar Marine is developing a marine electrification network that includes modular charging stations and floating energy hubs powered by solar and shore-connected infrastructure. These systems support fleet operators, tour companies, and municipalities seeking sustainable solutions for coastal and inland waterways.
Through collaboration with technology partners and Canadian research institutions, Templar Marine is not only creating boats but also the ecosystem for a zero-carbon marine future, from propulsion and energy storage to intelligent charging and connected fleet management.
Templar Marine is proudly Canadian-owned and headquartered in Nova Scotia, with a focus on creating green jobs, mentorship programs, and local manufacturing that supports Canada’s growing blue economy.

The Templar Marine Group Ltd. (TMG) was originally started by Mark and Jennifer Fry in 2017 with the objective of building a series of truly unique, affordable, zero omission, low maintenance, eco friendly electric boats for recreational and commercial use. Extensive research indicated the demand for a quiet, vibration free boat for those seeking a calm relaxing day on the water with family and friends, with comfort features not normally found on a boat of a comparable size. These include (but are not limited to) a fully enclosable cabin for year-round silent use, bow thruster, central heating, forward accommodation, a full size bathroom with sink, vanity, fully flushing toilet etc.
After the concept was created, award winning Vector Powerboats were engaged to build the prototypes and develop and construct the boats on our behalf. The first prototype was completed in 2019.
After a short period of dormancy through covid Templar Electric has been purchased by father and son duo – Steven Williams and Topher Kingsley-Williams and they have relocated the business to Nova Scotia and are restarting production on the East Coast!
Templar Marine is now building on all the research and development that Mark and Jennifer put into the company and combining that with the advancement of battery and electric motor technology over the last 5 years to bring back to the market Templar Marine (2.0).
The future of electric boating looks very positive and we look forward to bringing these technologies to a body of water near you!
