Electric motor for houseboat
Houseboats require reliable and precise propulsion solutions.
BlueNav develops intelligent electric propulsion systems designed to simplify onboard integration, improve maneuverability, and support the design of modern houseboats, in hybrid or 100% electric versions.
The best electric propulsion solution for houseboats.
Optimized navigation
“In-line” configuration for an unmatched experience
The “in-line” propulsion architecture developed by BlueNav aligns thrust forces with the boat’s axis to deliver immediate and perfectly controlled response. By positioning one motor on each side of the houseboat, directional stability is enhanced. A key advantage for vessels operating in narrow or busy areas.
This configuration enhances low-speed precision, simplifies maneuvering in confined spaces, and integrates naturally into the boat’s structure without compromising livability or aesthetics. The result: smooth, predictable, and comfortable mobility designed for the operational demands of modern houseboats.
Advanced maneuverability and control
360° and lateral maneuvers
Vector control enables precise movement in all directions. Docking, positioning, and slow-speed navigation operations become easier, safer, and more intuitive.
DPS with sun tracking
The dynamic positioning system automatically keeps the boat in position while optimizing its orientation based on the sun. This feature enhances onboard comfort and contributes to more efficient energy management.
A technology adaptable to all houseboats
Easy installation that fits all houseboats
Our electric motors for houseboats are designed for easy installation, whether on a new build or a refit. The mounting requires no major structural modifications. Our motors can be installed at the rear or front of houseboats for an “in-line” integration, or under the boat, offering maximum flexibility.
An extremely intuitive connected interface
BlueNav electric motors are equipped with an intelligent eco-pilot interface that guides users through navigation in a simple and intuitive way. This interface is very user-friendly, even for those who are not tech-savvy. It provides real-time guidance, alerts, and recommendations to optimize energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Thanks to this interface, navigation becomes easier and more enjoyable.
100% electric navigation
Designed for silent, emission-free navigation, BlueNav systems enable fully electric houseboats while ensuring reliable and intuitive operation.
A remarkable experience for a one-of-a-kind houseboat
Whether on a canal, in a harbor, or on a calm lake, passengers enjoy a peaceful experience that respects the ecosystem. BlueNav offers an innovative navigation model without compromising the performance of barges and houseboats.
