The invention describes a floating foundation (1) for supporting an offshore wind turbine assembly (2, 2a, 2b, 2c), comprising a mounting interface (12) for mounting a wind turbine tower (21) to the floating foundation (1) and an anchor arrangement (18) for anchoring the floating foundation (1) to the seabed (B). The inventive floating foundation is characterized by an underwater yaw system (13) comprising a plurality of marine propeller units (10) mounted to the floating foundation (1) to facilitate a rotation (Y) of the offshore wind turbine assembly (2) about a vertical axis (VR) and/or to effect a lateral displacement (D) of the offshore wind turbine assembly (2, 2a, 2b, 2c); and a marine propeller controller (130) configured to actuate one or more marine propeller units (10).
