MIRAVA says its M800 smart-boat platform generated interest during the company's European debut at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival. The 7.9m recreational boat is offered in electric and petrol forms, putting both versions comfortably inside Leisure Boat Guide's under-12m remit.
The company's 21 September update says the M800E drew prospective customers, dealers and industry visitors at Port Canto. Those expressions of interest are company-reported rather than independently verified sales figures, so they should not be interpreted as confirmed production orders.
Software-assisted functions are central to the concept
MIRAVA describes the M800 as combining assisted navigation, automated docking, position holding and safety functions within one connected system. A wearable control device is also intended to let the boat interact with a user during activities such as swimming or paddleboarding.
The aft section is modular and can create additional access to the water, while the bow can accept removable leisure equipment such as a hammock and shelter. These features are designed to make one boat adapt to cruising, watersports, fishing and social use rather than being optimised for only one activity.
Electric and petrol propulsion versions
Earlier company material specifies a 100kWh battery and up to 150hp for the electric M800E, with a claimed maximum speed of 20 knots. MIRAVA also lists a petrol version with up to 250hp and a claimed 30-knot maximum, while both versions measure 7.9m long and 2.44m wide.
The same material gives capacity for up to eight people and says the company is moving toward small-batch production. As with any developing platform, buyers should distinguish published targets from independently measured performance and confirm which autonomous functions are enabled in the delivered market.
Europe remains the next focus
MIRAVA plans to show the platform again at boot Düsseldorf in January 2027 before starting a European sea-trial programme from May. The announced route includes the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, northern Italy, Austria and Hungary.
Sea trials will give potential customers and dealers a more useful basis for assessing handling, docking assistance and electric range than static show displays alone. Leisure Boat Guide will follow the programme for confirmed production, delivery and regional-support developments rather than assuming those milestones in advance.
