I Drove Navier's Flying Electric Boat 🤯

- Vlogging my trip to the Bay Area, where I visited Navier, HyperGuap's newest investment. Navier is an electric flying boat startup based in Alameda, CA with the epic vision of turning our waterways into highways to transport people and goods. Their first product is the N30 a 6-12 person hydrofoiling water taxi. Because it flies above the Water the Navier is ultra energy & cost efficient. Founded in 2020, this is one of the fastest companies ever to bring a new boat design into production. They just signed a partnership with Stripe to transport employees to their Silicon Valley offices. This was SUCH a fun day for me.
More Navier content is coming! INSANELY well done video & podcast with the founder Sampriti Bhattacharyya so make sure to subscribe!! :)

Firstly, thank you for the video. BUT... if it's promoted as a Flying Electric Boat then why didn't you show more than about 10 seconds of the Boat up on it's hydrofoils? Instead of focusing the video on your mug and the inside of the boat going in a straight line, you could have directed the video on the actual boat, via the support vessel and the drone, showing the Boat doing turns etc. (That's the difficult part!) Americas Cup Racing Yachts make big use of the hydrofoils and also highlight the difficulties of using them.
Thank you!
New videos showing the boat flying are coming, this was just my vlog from visiting the company. Kind of like a sneak peak, sorry if it disappointed
I watch all your shit Gali.
Ha, I thought the same thing, but then I figured he must be rolling some follow-up videos. It’ll be fun to see the drone shots.
@@HyperChangeTV I'm actually a fan of yours Gali. I hadn't realised more videos were to follow so I'll look forward to them. Cheers mate.
Foiling boats are fairly common in Italy since more than 60 years, is it really new in the US? 😅
My understanding is that the hydrofoil design reduces drag enough to make electric boats practical. My first exposure was a Swedish company, Candela. It’s cool to see an American company making them. So you’ve had electric hydrofoils in Italy for 60 years?
Some additional info from their website:
Open top version base price $375k -> cabin version base price $550k.
Range 75 nautical mi = 86 land lubber miles, take off speed 16 knots, max speed 30 knots = 34 land miles per hour (not sure why that guy said it was comparable to a car? I guess maybe for short trips and you could commute at 30 mph in it I guess if it's not far.)
Charging is "overnight shorepower on 240v" so probably a long time, interesting to consider whether there are fast charging options?
Powered by 2x90kw motors, the model 3 long range dual motor has 2x motors which are 137-194kw so rather more powerful.
True, I would imagine the cheapest way to build the electronics is out of "car parts" and therefore fast charging would automatically come as part of that. It's not as if battery cooling would be expensive when you are surrounded by cold water :-)
There was a guy in the Netherlands that converted many higher end boats to electric using crashed Model 3 batteries and motors. I just can't remember who it was but maybe he was ahead of his time.
Just think how much cleaner and quieter water transport is and will be as we transition from dirty, smelly diesel to electric water transport! It will improve our Lakes, Rivers and Oceans! This is the future!
So much to the vision of Navier!
Yes, less noise, less smells and less accidental oil/diesel leaks
For sure , just need little African kids to mine All that cobalt . I wish it was a win/ win but it's not
I just got back from a Wisconsin afternoon on the snow with friends driving a Taiga electric snowmobile and a Moonbike electric snow bike. I sit down with my iPad, and this video pops up. Accelerating the world’s adoption of electric transport - both practical and fun. Dig it.
epic coincidence. i really want to try a Taiga

I’m 40 minutes from the Minneapolis airport if you want to pop over - River Falls, WI. Private wooded trails along the Kinnickinnic River for filming. We only just got snow last week - it’s been a strange winter.
why is music louder than some speakers?
Candela foil boats, they’ve been around a few years already, I think they have two or three models now, and their boat definitely wasn’t that loud
Two Bit DaVinci did an episode on torroidal propellors. It's worth a try for boat owners who want to improve efficiency.
7:07 to finally see it fly
And only for half a second of footage lol.
You dont drive a boat. You con a boat
This was hands down the dumbest decision I've ever made, trusting this deceitful snake and putting my hard-earned money into Arcimoto, Inviate, and Canoo, only to see them turn into cash cows for the elites. Don't believe a single damn word that comes out of his lying mouth. I'm furious, devastated, and utterly fed up with this whole situation.
Great content Gali! Love seeing the new EV tech in action.
Me too!!! 🙌
I'm wondering how choppy the seas can be and still be on the hydrofoil. This is one of the reasons some of the boat companies are going with standard boat like BIG blue innovations group.
I remember when you did a cruise on the Pure Watercraft, up in Seattle. It was a little quieter than the Navier but not as fast or refined. It looks like it was a blast. Bet it would be neat to ski behind it!
You claim “every single point of the boat has a redundancy, if anyone of the foils fail, the boat can still fly”… how does the boat continue to fly if the front foil fails?
I like your your vids, but 5 seconds of the actual boat "flying" is just ridicoulous.
Smells like Arcimoto, prototypes are easy, production is hard and it doesnt even look like so good idea.
Indian brain are always the best brains of the world
Sick boat.
I wonder about low-visibility rocks under the surface. I suspect my fear might be unjustified, though... 🤔 Any boaters wanna ELI5?
Gotta be in deep water, we did hit some logs going pretty fast and the boat was fine
Love the angle of attack gauge. Like a plane.
So cool to watch the wake disappear at 2:40 in
Haha, great chaotic editing. We were in for a ride, with this subject but also with your story telling. I loved it. So important, that we learn that electric boats are not only a thing but are superior. And that flying boats solve a ton of issues, including range. I live in Amsterdam, cit of canals, and after all the busses were electrified, now all the boats in the city centre are electrified too. Just a side step, but change is coming and change is real already all over the world.
Had a blast making this video :) love amsterdam, a great opportunity for the Navier
How do you like the business compared to Pure?
different use case. Pure chillin on the lake in pontoon, Navier for transport. Both great markets with big potential. at very similar stages
Loud way too loud why should i care?
Fantastic!
calling it flying is misleading.
The hydrofoil concept is very old, yet it never caught on. I'm sure there is a reason for that.
It’s common in Europe for ferry boats. Fast and smooth.
Let´s go Navier!
ive drove it as well
Wow that's sick
Now I have something to tow with Cyber Truck!
a Navier & a Lightship RV
@@HyperChangeTV New life looking hella nomadic and I’m excited!
Storwedge? Where to buy?
Here! scentwedge.com/products/storwedge?variant=42400887111853
I want one ❤
Me too
Nice job, buoys!! ⚓
This was sick!
Flying to review a leisure boat, winning!
I love hydrofoils, but how many fish get sliced us per 100 mile leisure voyage?
Hardly any footage of it flying.... What a wasted video. Downvoted. Otherwise it was well edited.
New videos with tons of footage coming soon! This was a sneak preview / vlog!
Was a great vid tbh
appreciate it @@TeoMorabito
@@HyperChangeTV then say that...
That thing sux
