MIRAVA, a startup developing smart recreational boats, has secured €4.2 million in angel funding to transition from product development into production and customer deliveries. The company's first smart boat is designed to adapt to various activities, such as cruising, family leisure, socialising, swimming, fishing, and water-sports.

MIRAVA's modular stern allows the boat to transform into different configurations depending on the activity, and its detachable section can operate independently as a tender or water platform. The company is also focusing on practical applications of intelligent navigation technologies, such as autonomous docking, departure and arrival, dynamic positioning, and intelligent following.

MIRAVA's smart wearable enables users to interact with the boat and allows it to follow swimmers, paddle-boarders, or divers at safe distances. The goal is to reduce complexity and allow users to focus on the experience itself. With the €5 million investment, MIRAVA will continue refining the product and its intelligent systems while preparing for small-batch production and customer deliveries.

The company plans to introduce the product to the European market at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026 and at Düsseldorf in January 2027, aiming to introduce a new category of recreational boats that combine flexibility and intelligent technology.
