Our vision Just as whales gracefully navigate the oceans, our vision is to channel our energy and passion towards developing solutions that will sail us towards a better world, preserving the ecosystems and peace in the vast expanse of the seas.

Forging the Future of Mobility As the energy transition accelerates in the automotive world, the commitment to sustainability in the marine industry is just setting sail. Recognizing the impossible batteries challenge for immediate widespread adoption of electric mobility, BlueNav has focused on addressing current mobility challenges by developing alternative solutions with hybrid propulsion. Designed for boaters and professional vessels, BlueNav motors allow any type of boat to be converted into a hybrid electric vessel, today. Our engineers have risen to the challenge of embracing the...

Our mission Our essential purpose is to passionately support sustainable navigation, empowering individuals to experience pure bliss and forge an intimate connection with nature. It is our deep-rooted commitment that legitimizes our mission and feeds our unwavering dedication to your satisfaction.

Your Passion mirrored in our Mission BlueNav offers an unparalleled navigation experience combining sensory pleasure with the modernity of connected propulsion. Navigating has never been so intuitive and userfriendly. As an expert in onboard marine technologies, BlueNav found its inspiration at the core of navigators' concerns, giving rise to this ambitious project: tackling the challenge of sustainable mobility at sea. We understand that the experience of navigation is not only about the destination but also about the journey itself. We strive to create an immersive voyage that goes beyond...

Our cutting-edge technology In pursuit of excellence, BlueNav drew inspiration from the best practices in the industry. Specifically, it found inspiration from the underwater industry, which values both performance and discretion. BlueNav has developed cutting-edge hubless drive propulsion systems tailored for the yachting sector. noise vibration emissions

Hubless Drive: a Revolution in Propulsion A hubless drive motor is a ring-shaped motor that transmits its motion to the propeller through magnetic means. This method of magnetic motion transmission offers numerous advantages: Increased efficiency Silent operation The magnetic transmission of motion minimizes mechanical friction, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced power losses. The absence of physical contact between components reduces noise and vibration, providing a quieter and more comfortable boating experience. Reduced maintenance With fewer mechanical components...

New Whale Design BlueNav's Whale Design embodies the sophistication of nature's influence. Inspired by the graceful dynamics of whales, our hydrodynamics engineers created a harmonious blend of biomimicry and sustainable innovation.

Whale Design, enhanced performances Biomimetics is always a source of inspiration for humans. While nature follows an incremental and random bias for its evolution, humans can mimic designs that have been shown to be more efficient and quieter, even if, sometimes, they defy traditional engineering theories. Our engineers demonstrated by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) that the bumps on the flippers of cetaceans and the striations on their belly have a result, they reduce drag, and increase fluid flow efficiency. Leading Edge Hydrodynamics Thrust/Power Ratio Optimization Computational...

Smart navigation Navigation is about adapting to surrounding elements -the wind, current, and drift- all of which are energy-consuming factors. By choosing to navigate with BlueNav, the user benefits from an integrated solution and a wealth of connected services.

Integrated HMI solution The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) analyzes real-time data such as current, position, and speed, offering the pilot insights on energy consumption and tips for performance optimization. New smart navigation features As automation becomes part of the boating experience, BlueNav’s HMI now comes equipped with Autopilot and Cruise Control. Your boat will maintain its course and speed effortlessly, ensuring a smooth and stress-free navigation journey. Heading Hold Upcoming navigation services Autonomous navigation This mode makes informed steering decisions based on...
