Intelligent Hybrid Propulsion for Modern Boating

Smart Electric-Assisted Navigation & Manoeuvring Solutions

Founded in France in 2020, BlueNav develops intelligent hybrid propulsion systems designed to support a more efficient, connected and environmentally responsible boating experience across modern marine applications.

Combining advanced propulsion hardware with integrated navigation software, the company focuses on improving vessel manoeuvrability, onboard comfort and low-speed operational control while reducing environmental impact.

At the centre of the company’s technology portfolio is the BlueSpin hybrid propulsion system, engineered to retrofit existing vessels with retractable electric turbine technology available in both outboard and in-hull configurations. The systems deliver quiet electric propulsion while avoiding additional drag during combustion engine operation.

BlueNav propulsion solutions incorporate Rim Drive Technology (RDT) and proprietary turbine blade designs developed to maximise thrust efficiency, manoeuvring precision and operational responsiveness at low speeds while operating on safe and efficient 48V electrical architecture.

The company also integrates intelligent onboard navigation features including virtual anchoring, assisted docking, heading control, waypoint tracking and cruise control technologies designed to simplify vessel handling and improve situational control across varying marine environments.
