MIRAVA brings a new smart boat concept to Europe with $5M angel funding

CANNES, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – MIRAVA, a new-generation smart boat company, is preparing for its European debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, following three years of product development and $5M in angel funding to support further development and small-batch production and deliveries.



MIRAVA

Designed around the idea of giving people greater freedom on the water, MIRAVA combines intelligent navigation, modular design and multiple recreational functions within a single 7.9-metre boat.

Unlike conventional boats designed primarily around one activity, MIRAVA is positioned as a flexible recreational platform for cruising, family time, watersports, fishing and socialising. Its modular stern can transform the aft area into an expanded platform or be separated from the main boat to operate independently as a small tender.

The company is also integrating autonomous boating technologies designed to reduce the complexity of operating a boat. These include autonomous docking, autonomous departure, dynamic positioning and autonomous following. A smart wearable allows the boat to follow its user while they are swimming, paddle boarding or diving.

MIRAVA's product development has been refined over the past three years, with the company focusing on making advanced marine technology practical and intuitive rather than simply adding more onboard technology.

The boat will be presented in both fully electric and petrol versions. The electric model features a 100 kWh battery, 150 hp maximum power and a top speed of 20 knots, while the petrol version delivers up to 250 hp and 30 knots. Both versions measure 7.9 metres in length, with a beam of 2.44 metres and capacity for up to eight people.

The $5M angel funding will support further product development as well as small-batch production and deliveries as MIRAVA moves towards its next stage of commercialisation.

MIRAVA will make its European debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, Port Canto, Stand POWER132, before continuing its European presence at boot Düsseldorf 2027.

The company sees Europe as an important market for demonstrating how intelligent technology, modular design and a more flexible approach to recreational boating can create a new experience on the water.
