Interview with Sampriti Bhattacharyya, whose electric flying boat startup, Navier, promises to transform how we move people and goods in our coastal cities. In just 4 years, Navier has gone from concept to entering production. The Alameda, CA based startup has already signed a deal to shuttle Strip employees back and forth across the bay. This is our newest HyperGuap investment (my VC firm) and I couldn't be more fired up about the potential! I rode in a Navier in SF and was blown away at the product, smooth, quiet, and luxurious ... transforming what it means to be on a boat. The company's mission is to be America's next great maritime company, I hope they crush it!!

The future is bright, especially for older Mariners like myself. I predict that part of the transition to Autonomous vessels will be experienced/qualified mariners controlling many vessels remotely through sensors; cameras, radar, night vision etc. Together with reliable low latency internet. A great work from home job of the future for Captains and Skippers. I personally would love to be a part of this change.

Love the channel and Navier's mission! On top of the world changing potential; if marinas can install enough charging capacity, a cabin Navier could be incredibly popular in the Mediterranean, moving from city to city over the summer. That's definitely more of a second gen roadster, cherry on top use case though. Also Tokyo just started trialing water ferries from Toyosu to Nihonbashi, so this could be a good fit for a longer range trip :)

So many cool routes could be unlocked if this works! Excited to see where they roll out service !

Doing swappable battery on my Solar E-Vessel. It helps charge faster.

The navier boat resembles the cool boats that come from Scandinavia(example Sargo), very exciting. I love her, she’s bad ass.

Sampriti has a really impressive vibe and way of talking, she seems like she knows exactly what she's doing as a founder and as an Owner, Operator, Founder could go far. I also think it's amazing they're at positive gross margins on their first batch of deliveries (granted the prices are relatively high and there's questions around demand at that price point) but still, that's way way ahead of Rivian for instance. And if fleet operators can be convinced to start up routes where they're used for their low cost per mile that makes a big upfront cost paletteable.

Glosten and Bieker Boats teamed up to create Foil Ferry, the world’s most advanced high-speed, all-electric passenger ferry. Foil Ferry draws on Bieker Boats’ experience with ultra-efficient foil-borne vessels, including a cup-winning design for Oracle Team USA, and Glosten’s public and private sector work on innovative passenger vessels over the past 50 years. The design uses modern composite hull construction and hydrofoil technology to enable zero-emission, high-speed marine transport.

Our hydrofoil technology is what enables ELECTRA’S performance The proprietary technology at the core of Electra is our high efficiency hydrofoil design. This reduces the drag of the vessel by half, allowing for increased range, ride quality and zero wake.

Very cool product.

@turrafirmaguitarchannel 3 ай бұрын

Isn’t it quite energy intensive to keep the boat up on the hydrofoils?

So if there is a good Navier service in SF. How much would it cost to dock an end of life Cruise Ship to Treasure Island. And then offer fully seviced rooms & Suites for monthly rent. Supplies would come in by Road. Power ftom the city grid but cruise ships are designed to be self sufficent. So the staff live on the boat as part of their salary. People coiod cook in their apartments but it will be cheaper to buy from onboard facilities. Some spaces on the ship would no longer needed and could be converted for other uses. Btw this is not a new idea, its just usually set in space.

Question for Navier: How important to your boat are the shaping of the hydofoils you use? If you're looking for experts in the fluid dynamics - come to Oxford & Oxfordshire. The home of Formula 1/2/3 & Rallysport, Indy car, Touring car, Formula E etc Here you will find consultants: experts in managing fluids water or air to get you the most effect
