A modular marine vessel 10 comprising a plurality of identical modules 12 which are detachably inter-engaged and form a float structure that extends around a central upstanding mast 11, wherein at least one of the modules mounts a propulsion unit 14 and/or an electrical generator. Each module may comprise sides provided with complimentary engaging means that are detachably engaged with complimentary engaging means on adjacent modules. The engagement means may comprise superimposed collars which define mounts in which the propulsion units and/or generators are mounted. Each propulsion unit may comprise a propeller or thruster 16. The vessel may be steered by having means to provide changing the direction of propulsion of the/or each propulsion unit. The vessel may also have means which provide a varying degree of propulsion that can be applied to each propulsion unit. The electrical generator may comprise a wind turbine or solar cell 15 and have means to turn the solar cell according to the position of the sun. Each detachable module may also comprise individual propulsion units and generators, and have rechargeable batteries. The mast may comprise a base 18 detachably radially extending arms 19, and a housing that deploys an anchor (20, fig 2).
