Presentation

Mounted on the transom, the BlueSpin 11 kW is a premium electric propulsion solution designed to deliver silent, precise and intelligent navigation, whether in hybrid or fully electric configurations.


Compact and discreet, it becomes almost invisible once retracted, while unlocking an exceptional level of control and maneuverability through BlueNav Smart Navigation solutions.


Designed for seamless integration, the BlueSpin 11 kW is fully compatible with standard NMEA 2000 electrical architectures, making it suitable for both new builds and retrofit projects.


Design & Installation

The BlueSpin 11 kW is mounted directly on the transom and requires no structural modification to the hull.

It retains the compact footprint of the BlueSpin 8 kW, enabling easy integration on a wide range of hulls.


In hybrid configurations, the unit automatically retracts in combustion propulsion mode to preserve performance and efficiency, and deploys instantly when switching to electric mode, ensuring smooth and intuitive transitions.

Key Features

Retractable turbine developed and made by BlueNav in France

Patented Dynamic Anti-Cavitation Thrust Control for optimized and controlled thrust

Transom-mounted solution with minimal visual impact when retracted

Compact footprint (similar to BlueSpin 8 kW)

Charging via standard 230 V shore power

Reduced maintenance requirements

3D joystick and HMI with intelligent energy management

Simple installation for new builds and refits

Smart Navigation Integration

The BlueSpin 11 kW is fully integrated into the BlueNav Smart Navigation ecosystem, transforming electric propulsion into a complete assisted navigation system.


Positioning functions

Virtual Anchor

Dynamic Positioning System (DPS)

Drift Lock

Maneuvering assistance

Docking 360

Lateral Docking

Autopilot functions

Heading Hold

Course Hold

Waypoint Tracking

Speed Control

These software-driven features significantly enhance precision, comfort, and safety, particularly during harbor maneuvers and operations in confined or sensitive areas.


Operational Advantages

The BlueSpin 11 kW delivers 360 maneuverability, enabling silent harbor departures and arrivals, as well as access to protected or restricted zones.


A single BlueSpin 11 kW, even when off-centered, can provide effective electric propulsion and maneuvering assistance for vessels up to 8 tons.


When installed in a twin outboard configuration, the system is capable of propelling and precisely controlling vessels up to 12 tons.


In hybrid applications, the BlueSpin 11 kW combines the range and speed of thermal engines with the silence, precision, and low environmental impact of electric propulsion, while dramatically improving low-speed control and docking confidence.
