Volvo Penta at Sea

Every day, across rivers, coastlines and open waters, vessels carry people, goods, and opportunities that connect communities and enable life to move forward.

Volvo Penta powers a wide range of these operations, supporting those who rely on the water to keep things moving. From passenger transport to essential deliveries, our solutions are designed for reliability, efficiency and continuous performance.

The Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform is designed to bring greater efficiency, flexibility and integration at sea.

With an innovative dual power input concept, it is designed to manage power to the water efficiently while enabling different combinations of energy sources. From combustion engines running on renewable fuels to fully electric or hybrid solutions, the platform supports flexibility on the journey toward decarbonization.

It’s time to change the way you drive. Volvo Penta’s Joystick Driving introduces seamless, singlehanded boat control, with throttle, shift and steering in one control. Push to accelerate, pull back to slow, and glide through the water with intuitive precision. Forget wheels and levers, just confidence in your hand. But beware – once you try it, you might never want to go back.

Is docking a boat difficult?

Docking a boat can be difficult, but the Volvo Penta Assisted Docking system leaves more room for easier boating. The semi-automated docking system compensates for wind and current, turning a stressful situation into a more enjoyable experience.

Designed to be experienced.

Cruising effortlessly across the water, the Sanlorenzo SX120 demonstrates the possibilities of modern yacht design paired with advanced propulsion technology. With the Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform onboard, performance, comfort, and space work together in seamless harmony.
