The Virtual Anchor: simple and efficient

At BlueNav, we have a mission: to reinvent navigation to make it cleaner, more accessible and more environmentally friendly. With this in mind, we have developed the Virtual Anchor, an innovative solution that transforms the way you stop at sea. Thanks to this advanced technology, it’s now possible to maintain your position without using a physical anchor, protecting the fragile seabed and minimising energy consumption.. Disconcertingly simple the Virtual Anchor is activated in a single gesture, allowing you to enjoy your surroundings to the full without any effort.

Remarkably straightforward

Virtual Anchor has been designed to be intuitive and accessible to all. In just three steps, your boat remains stable in the face of the elements, without you having to intervene:

  1. One-click activation: All you need to do is tap the anchor icon on your screen. The Virtual Anchor immediately takes over.

  2. Positioning against disturbances: The BlueSpin motors automatically activate and adjust the boat to face the wind and current, optimising stability and reducing energy consumption.

  3. Maintaining position with minimal power consumption: thanks to onboard intelligence, the system continuously adjusts the corrections needed to stabilise your boat within a 5-metre radius of the activation point, with maximum energy efficiency.

Comfort and performance

No more complex maneuvers and tedious anchoring. With the BlueNav Virtual Anchor, the process becomes instantaneous and free of constraints. A new form of freedom is yours: enjoy the pleasures of the sea without constraints, without noise and without impact on the environment.

Preserve the seabed

The impact of traditional anchors on marine ecosystems is well known. Each anchorage can lead to the destruction of seagrass beds, coral and other fragile habitats. By replacing physical anchoring with electronic stabilisation, BlueNav eliminates this risk and helps to preserve our seas and oceans.

Quieter navigation that respects marine wildlife

Underwater noise and vibrations generated by the propellers seriously disturb marine fauna. Thanks to the silent BlueSpin electric motors, the Virtual Anchor considerably reduces these nuisances, allowing marine life to coexist more harmoniously.

Zero emissions, zero pollution

Unlike mechanical anchors, which sometimes require the use of combustion engines, the Virtual Anchor runs entirely on electric power. The result: no CO2 emissions, no water pollution from fuel or oil residues, and a minimal carbon footprint.

An ideal solution for Marine Protected Areas

In many protected areas, the use of traditional anchors is strictly regulated in order to preserve biodiversity. The BlueNav Virtual Anchor allows you to anchor legally, without damaging the marine environment. An innovation that opens up new prospects for more sustainable and responsible sailing.
