Amsterdam Canal Cruise
Smooth, zero-emission navigation
With its 100 kilometers of canals classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Amsterdam is a city that is ideally discovered on the water. Strolling along its canals offers a unique perspective on its historic houses, picturesque bridges and lively atmosphere. But to preserve this exceptional heritage while guaranteeing a peaceful and environmentally friendly experience, a new solution is needed: the BlueNav solution.
From 1 April 2025, Amsterdam is taking a decisive step towards cleaner shipping by introducing a zero-emission zone for pleasure boats in its historic centre. Only electric, hydrogen or manually powered boats will be allowed to navigate in this area, which includes the Singelgracht and the surrounding canals. A perfect opportunity to adopt BlueNav’s hybrid solution, which allows a smooth transition to environmentally friendly navigation.
Manage your energy optimally
Navigate in silence
A solution adapted to new regulations
Thanks to its innovative technology, the BlueNav solution transforms any thermal engine boat into a hybrid electric propulsion, allowing boats to sail in 100% electric mode when entering Amsterdam’s zero-emission zone. Boat owners can thus continue to enjoy the canals while respecting the new rules, without having to replace their existing engine.
Navigating silently and without emissions on the UNESCO-listed canals allows you to rediscover the city from a new perspective. The lapping of the water replaces the roar of the engines, the air is cleaner, and the city benefits. With our All-in-one solution, boaters and tourism professionals can continue to explore Amsterdam in harmony with its ecological commitment.
Optimized control thanks to our software
BlueSpin’s integration with advanced management software provides smart and seamless navigation. This system allows real-time monitoring of battery status, autonomy and energy consumption. Thanks to optimized planning, it ensures that the switch to electric mode is automatic and efficient, thus avoiding any infringement of new regulations.
The new rules will come into force from April 2025, with transitional arrangements for owners who already had a sticker before that date. For hassle-free and fully compliant browsing, BlueSpin is the ideal solution.
