A gradual rollout, with steady progress until 2026:

Navigône will launch its first transitional version in June 2025 with two diesel-powered boats. By April 2026, the fleet will be complete with four electric boats providing optimal service. The service frequency will gradually increase—from one boat every 30 minutes during peak hours starting June 2025, to one every 15 minutes during peak hours beginning April 2026—while maintaining consistent service during off-peak hours and weekends.
