Disclosed is a propulsion unit for propelling a vessel. The propulsion unit comprises a main body configured to be arranged at a keel of the vessel and comprising a pivot point, a fin being movably arranged in relation to the main body, and an actuator assembly for generating a heave motion of the fin in relation to the main body. The actuator assembly comprises at least one actuator. The fin is connected to the pivot point, such that the fin is arranged to pivot around the pivot point when the at least one actuator generates the heave motion of the fin, thereby generating a pitch motion of the fin.
