Description

The BlueBoat is the planet’s most affordable surface vessel for hydrographic surveys, robotic systems development, and scientific missions. Its weedless hull and propeller design, rugged construction, and compact transport size make it reliable and convenient to use, while its flexible electronics architecture, ample payload mounting areas, and open-source BlueOS software system make it an ideal platform for integrating sonars and other sensors.

The BlueBoat is designed to carry any payload you want to integrate and do so better than any other vehicle its size. We fit all control electronics, batteries, and wiring into the hulls so that the space between the hulls is completely dedicated to payload integration. The hulls have flat inner walls, creating a low-wake sensor area ideal for survey sonars.

The BlueBoat can carry up to 15 kg (33 lb) of batteries and payload. The cross members, brackets, and the bottom of the hull have mounting points so that you can mount anything, whether it’s a hydrographic survey echosounder, an enclosure full of prototype electronics, or both!

Electronics areas in both hulls leave plenty of dry space for internal hardware integration with access to dedicated payload power, inter-hull communications, and holes for electrical penetrators or connectors.

The BlueBoat is easily and endlessly expandable, and it is available for you to build on top of. It has best-in-class endurance capabilities, with over 60 hours of continuous operating time when carrying the maximum supported number of batteries. Even with a single battery, it runs for upwards of 9 hours and can travel over 30 km.
