The present disclosure relates to a tunnel thruster system (10) of a vessel (1). Specifically, a tunnel thruster system may comprise a hull segment (18) extending along a longitudinal axis (A) of a vessel (1) and defining a passage (20) therethrough. The tunnel thruster system (10) may further comprise a propeller unit (22) disposed in the passage (20) and configured to generate a water jet in a first direction through the passage (20). At least one deflector (24, 26) may be disposed in the passage (20) and may be configured to deflect at least part of the water jet in a second direction different from the first direction for guiding the water jet at least in part around a flow obstacle (16, 17) defined by the vessel (1).
