Smart electric yacht startup MIRAVA raises nearly RMB 50M angel round
MIRAVA, a Chinese maker of smart electric consumer boats, has raised close to RMB 50 million in an angel round led by Jiuhe Venture Capital, with Chuxin Capital and Eversnow participating; the funds are earmarked for core technology R&D, mass-production line construction, first customer deliveries and a localized European channel and service network. According to the company, its first 8-meter smart electric yacht, the M800E, was unveiled for Europe at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026, is slated for boot Düsseldorf in January 2027, and the first founder-edition units are due for delivery in mid-next year, with production already moving into small-batch delivery. MIRAVA says the M800E uses a smart wristband as a positioning beacon for scenario-based autonomous follow-me operation and adds a detachable rear sub-boat module, positioning the product for casual "water players" rather than traditional boating enthusiasts.
If the follow-me autonomy and sub-boat module hold up in real use, it would show how smart features can lower the bar in a high-cost, high-friction boat category, though market validation still awaits first deliveries.
