360° Docking
Master every maneuver with 360° Docking
At BlueNav, we know how stressful docking in a port can be, even for the most experienced boaters. This is why we have designed a unique solution: 360° Docking.
Thanks to our hybrid propulsion technology and intuitive joystick, it is now possible to turn your boat on the spot, without moving forward, and to maneuver in the tightest spaces with unparalleled precision.
How it works
With this system, you can pivot on yourself while still being able to move forward or backward with precision.
1. Press the DOCKING button on the control panel.
2. The propellers automatically orient themselves at an angle of +/- 45°.
3. The throttle controls the thrust.
4. The directional joystick controls the orientation of the boat.
Why choose 360° Docking?
-
More precise maneuvers: thanks to the orientation of the propellers at +/- 45°.
-
Rotate on the spot: turn your boat without moving forward, a real change in maneuver management.
-
Comfort and simplicity: a simple gesture of the finger is enough to orient the bow in the desired direction.
-
Rim Drive Motor: High thrust at low speed for intuitive control and optimized energy efficiency.
-
Intelligent propeller design: controlled performance and consumption.
A practical use for boaters
360° Docking is particularly popular in cramped or busy ports, where every square meter counts. With on-the-spot rotation, boaters can easily slip into tight spaces or between two boats without risking damage to their craft.
This feature is also ideal for outings with family or friends. It allows you to navigate with complete peace of mind, without stress when approaching the port. Maneuvers become fluid, precise and silent, a true revolution in the navigation experience, even for less experienced people.
Example on the Arcachon Basin
Imagine: you return to the port of Arcachon on a Sunday afternoon, all the places are tight, the wind is blowing sideways, and you have to dock between two sailboats. Thanks to 360° Docking, there’s no need to go forward/backward several times; you press a button, move the joystick, and your boat pivots on itself, without moving forward. In seconds, you are perfectly aligned. It’s simple, fluid and completely controlled.
