BlueNav has created a range of adaptable electric motors that make hybrid boating an easy addition, not a costly overhaul. Founded in 2020 in Arcachon, France, BlueNav develops electric solutions with modular designs that slip seamlessly into existing boats, keeping the process straightforward for those already tuned into the electric transition.
BlueSpin Range: Plug-and-Play Hybrid Options
BlueSpin Outboard
The BlueSpin Outboard is a bolt-on solution for turning any vessel into a hybrid. Installed on the transom, it’s ready to provide an electric option with minimal adjustments to your existing setup.
- Retractable Mode: In gas mode, the motor retracts, keeping your vessel’s performance and lines intact. Switch to electric, and it’s ready to quietly take you where you need to go.
- 360° Maneuverability: Full rotational control makes docking and handling tight spaces a breeze.
- Power Options: Currently available in a 15 kW (25 hp) model, with plans for a 30 kW (40 hp) version. It’s a versatile system for hybrid propulsion without excessive weight or complexity.
BlueSpin Inhull
For those looking for a cleaner profile, the BlueSpin Inhull is an in-hull turbine motor that deploys only when needed, providing a near-invisible electric option.
- Retractable Propulsion: When you’re not using it, the Inhull motor stows to maintain the boat’s sleekness and hydrodynamic efficiency.
- 360° Handling: Offering the same rotational control as the Outboard makes docking or navigating close quarters easier.
- Multiple Power Configurations: It ranges from 8 to 30 kW and is customizable for various vessel sizes and power requirements.
BlueSpin Stationary
Suppose a fixed installation works better for your setup. In that case, the BlueSpin Stationary mounts permanently under the hull, ready to deliver the same electric power without needing a retractable design.
- Fixed, Under-Hull Installation: Low-profile but capable, it keeps your hull streamlined while fully integrated.
- 360° Maneuverability: Complete rotation capability ensures easy handling in narrow or crowded spaces.
BlueNav’s Innovation
BlueNav’s engineering stands out with a hubless design that minimizes energy loss, reducing friction and heat. Inspired by the hydrodynamics of whale fins, their motors reduce drag and noise, making each journey efficient and unobtrusive.
With intelligent navigation features like autopilot and cruise control, BlueNav isn’t just about motors—they’re building a future for seamless all-electric navigation.
Simple Integration, Big Impact
BlueNav’s modular approach makes these electric solutions ideal for new builds and retrofits. The BlueSpin series provides reliable hybrid power without significant structural changes, inviting anyone in the market for sustainable options to upgrade without rethinking their boat’s design.
BlueNav is making hybrid boating easy and practical for those ready to enhance their electric capabilities, from outboards to in-hull and stationary options.
