The fully electric M800E combines assisted handling, smart band interaction and a reconfigurable stern for family boating. MIRAVA will present the boat in Hall 3, Stand 3B53, and plans to begin European sea trials in May 2027.
Shenzhen, China, Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIRAVA will showcase its M800E smart electric recreational boat at boot Düsseldorf in January 2027, following the model’s European debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026. At Hall 3, Stand 3B53, visitors will be able to explore how the 7.95-metre boat is designed for a day that might begin with a cruise, continue with watersports and end with a trip ashore in its detachable powered tender.
MIRAVA plans to begin a European sea trial tour in May 2027. The programme is intended to give marine media and prospective dealers a chance to experience the M800E on the water and assess how its handling, controls and layout work in practice. The tour will also support discussions with prospective partners about local sales, demonstrations and after-sales service.
The Opportunity in Family Recreational Boating
For the families MIRAVA is targeting, a boat is a way to spend time outdoors together. A day on the water might include a morning cruise, a stop to put a paddleboard in the water and an afternoon spent swimming or exploring ashore. MIRAVA sees three opportunities to make those outings easier and give people more choices once they leave the dock.
The first is giving existing boat owners a reason to upgrade. In cars and consumer drones, advances in sensors, software and controls have changed what people can do with products they already know how to use. MIRAVA sees a similar opportunity in recreational boating. For an owner whose current boat already handles weekend cruises well, the case for upgrading becomes stronger when a new boat opens up an experience the family would use, such as exploring in a tender while the main boat follows under suitable operating conditions.
The second is the attention a boat can demand throughout an outing. Navigating unfamiliar waters, manoeuvring at low speed, anchoring and returning to a berth can keep one person occupied while the rest of the group prepares for the next activity. MIRAVA sees room for assistance with recurring tasks such as docking and holding position, while preserving the enjoyment of taking the helm.
The third is the gap between how boats are often designed and how families spend a day on the water. A boat built primarily for fishing, cruising or a particular watersport can serve that activity well. A family may want to switch between several activities in a single afternoon, each with different demands on deck space, access to the water and the equipment on board.
These three opportunities shape MIRAVA’s vision for “The Next Generation Smart Boat.” The M800E brings together a wearable interface, assisted handling and a modular layout. MIRAVA’s brand promise, “Where Freedom Follows,” takes three forms on the boat.
Freedom to Play
The M800E’s smart wristband links several moments in an outing. It can trigger welcome lighting as the wearer approaches and uses NFC authentication to enable startup. On the water, the paired wristband provides a moving position reference for Follow mode.
A sheltered bay offers one example of how the system can be used. A wearer can set out in the detachable powered tender to explore closer to shore. With Follow mode engaged under suitable operating conditions, the M800E is designed to follow the paired wristband while the main boat remains in water suitable for its operation. The tender gives the wearer access to shallower areas, and the wristband allows the two craft to move in relation to each other. If several people are out on the water, the system uses the paired wristband as its reference.
In Düsseldorf, MIRAVA will use the wristband and onboard interface to show how users interact with Follow mode. The planned European tour will give guests an opportunity to experience the boat’s systems and layout on the water.
Freedom to Sail
MIRAVA designed the M800E to give operators a choice in how they handle different parts of a trip. Someone who enjoys steering through open water can take the helm for the cruise, then use assistance for specific low-speed manoeuvres. The boat provides assisted docking, assisted departure and station-keeping alongside manual helm controls.
Station-keeping is one example of where assistance can make a difference during a family outing. Holding position is a recurring task while the group gets equipment ready or prepares for its next stop. The M800E gives the operator a dedicated function for that task, with a 27-inch central display and a separate digital instrument screen supporting the onboard controls.
Freedom to Be More
The M800E’s stern changes with the plans for the day. Its flip-out platform extends the aft deck, giving people space at the water’s edge to prepare a paddleboard, get ready for a swim or sit together during a stop. A section of the stern detaches as an independently powered tender. When the group wants to go ashore or explore a shallow stretch of coastline, the smaller craft can make the trip where bringing the main boat closer may be impractical.
The rest of the layout supports the time families spend on board between activities. Face-to-face seating gives the group a place to gather, a forward hammock creates a separate spot to relax, and an enclosed toilet supports longer outings. A single trip can move from cruising to watersports, a visit ashore and lunch back on board, with the boat serving a different purpose at each stop.
Why MIRAVA Is Starting in Europe
Europe is MIRAVA’s first commercial focus. Its established recreational boating culture includes inland lake outings and coastal cruising, giving the company several settings in which to assess how the M800E fits the way families already spend time on the water. The region’s dealer and marine service networks are also important to how MIRAVA plans to introduce and support the boat locally.
For a customer considering an electric boat, questions about charging at a home berth, learning the onboard controls and getting local service can shape the purchase decision. MIRAVA intends to use the sea trial tour to discuss those practical questions with prospective dealers. Time on the water will give them a chance to assess how they would demonstrate the boat to customers and what support they would need to offer in their markets.
Cannes introduced the M800E to European audiences. Düsseldorf gives media and prospective partners a closer look at the boat and its systems, while the planned sea trials take those conversations onto the water.
