NAVO
The 42-foot NAVO 42 underway at dusk: a wide, high-volume hull with tall gunwales, a balanced enclosed salon, bonded cockpit glazing, eight narrow lower-deck windows alternating with illuminated modules, and a low integrated sensor crown

THE NAVO 42 CONCEPT

All the water.None of the work.

A clean-sheet family vehicle for the water.

42 FT LOA · 17 FT BEAM

WHAT IF WE STARTED OVER?

Not a boat.

A different kind of vehicle.

Traditional boats ask the owner to manage engines, generators, pumps, valves, tanks, gauges and switches from a dozen suppliers.

NAVO turns propulsion, energy, climate, water and navigation into one intelligent machine.

ONE VEHICLE · ONE SOFTWARE LAYER · ONE EXPERIENCE

01 / NAVO DRIVE

MOVEANYWHERE.

Four independent motors. Omnidirectional control. No bow thruster. No engine juggling.

SIDEWAYS.Bow and stern translate together. The whole vehicle walks.

FOUR MOTORS. INFINITE MOVEMENT.

Four identical NAVO azimuthing electric pods arranged as a wide symmetrical rectangle inside the protected hull planform

02 / THE PROTECTED CORE

TWO FORWARD.TWO AFT.Perfectly mirrored.

Four identical azimuthing electric propulsors form a wide, symmetrical rectangle inside the protected hull planform. Each rotates through 360°, retracts flush behind multi-flap ports, and stays protected until it is needed.

ALL PODS NOMINALVECTOR CONTROL ACTIVE

FOUR PODS. ONE MOTION.

Four identical azimuthing propulsors, two forward and two aft in a wide symmetrical rectangle. Software aims every vector, hundreds of times a second.

03 / NAVO DOCK

DOCKHERE.

Tap a berth. NAVO fuses cameras, depth, position and proximity, then coordinates every pod for whatever the berth calls for — gliding in bow-first, rotating to crab alongside, or backing into the slip.

Docking shouldn’t require engine choreography.

04 / NAVO HUD

HEADSUP.

Heading, speed, depth, energy and the route ahead project directly onto the windshield in calm blue light—so the helm watches the water instead of staring down at a complex video screen.

The instrument panel is the glass.

05 / NAVO PILOT

JUST TELL ITWHERE TO GO.

NAVO considers weather, tide, traffic, depth, comfort and reserve—then gives the family the answer that matters.

Navigation without navigating.

06 / NAVO ENERGY

ELECTRIC.Without range anxiety.

The pods are always driven electrically. For longer missions, a series range extender quietly generates electricity; it never drives a propeller mechanically.

Silent, zero-emission running at the dock, at anchor and at low speed — while the full-roof solar panel tops the battery back up.

  • PURE ELECTRIC PROPULSION
  • NO MECHANICAL DRIVELINE
  • FULL-ROOF SOLAR ASSIST
  • REDUNDANT ENERGY PATHS
  • INTELLIGENT RESERVE PLANNING

07 / NAVO SOLAR

THE ROOF ISTHE POWER PLANT.

The entire roof — minus a few skylights — is one integrated solar panel. In normal sunny conditions it harvests enough to carry an overnight stay and keeps charging the battery whenever the sun is up.

Park it in the sun. Come back to a fuller battery.

08 / THE FAMILY SUV FOR WATER

BUILT AROUNDTHE FOUR OF YOU.

A weather-protected living room, an effortless cockpit and real storage—designed for family life, not marina theater.

The NAVO 42 dedicated laundry room: stacked washer and dryer in light oak joinery, a marble folding counter beneath a slim hull window, and a ceiling-mounted drying rack with shirts on hangers

09 / A REAL HOME BELOW

A LAUNDRY ROOM.On a 42-foot boat.

Family design isn’t a brochure word — it’s square footage. Five days out means real clothes, real bathrooms and a place for everything, so the belowdecks is planned like a home, not a cuddy.

DEDICATED LAUNDRYStacked washer and dryer, a marble folding counter and a ceiling drying rack — swimsuits and towels never pile up.
ONE AND A HALF BATHSA full family bath, plus a half bath that works as the day head for guests — and as the master cabin's private night head.
WALK-IN CLOSETSReal hanging storage with a full-length mirror and a discreet safe for valuables. Unpack once, live aboard.

10 / INTELLIGENT SPACE

NO LEGACYMARINE BS.

Nothing is here because “boats have always had one.” Every surface, system and cubic inch earns its place.

BRING THE OUTSIDE IN.Or seal it out.

Full-height glass panels fold into slim pockets to open the salon to the roofed aft cockpit. Close them and the interior becomes a quiet, climate-controlled GT cabin.

14 / NAVO CLIMATE

WHY SHOULD A/CREQUIRE THE OCEAN?

Integrated air-source thermal management heats and cools the cabin, battery and electronics without a dedicated seawater intake.

Fewer holes. Fewer pumps. Less fouling.

15 / NAVO WATER

LIVE LARGE.USE LESS.

A shower that recirculates. A toilet that separates. A recovery system that treats water by purpose—so four people can stay out longer without carrying a floating utility plant.

Liquids and solids stop sharing a giant black-water tank. Liquids take an appropriate onboard treatment or holding path; solids collect in a sealed, removable cartridge — lower power, less flush water, a dramatically simpler service target.

NAVO is completely remotely managed. Door, window, occupancy, bilge, high-water and power sensors report over a redundant Starlink and cellular connection — and every setting aboard, down to the A/C, is yours from anywhere.

The boat watches itself, so you don’t have to.
