A gradual commissioning, a steady pace until 2026:
Navigône has been launched in an initial transitional version since June 2025 with two thermal boats. These boats have been replaced by electric boats "Le Gone" and "La Fenotte".
The deckhand will be able to accompany disabled passengers (outside maneuvering phases). On-board passenger information will feature audio and visual announcements for the deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind or visually impaired.
By April 2026, the fleet will be complete with four electric boats providing optimal service.Service frequency will be gradually increased, from a boat every 30 minutes during rush hour to a passage every 15 minutes from the 20 June 2026, with regularity maintained during off-peak hours and weekends.
