Miami was built on the water.

Nava puts you on it. Call a private boat to the dock, and the bay becomes your way across town.

The dock in your backyard, or your building's, becomes the pickup.

Bounce around the bay.

Miami is a string of neighborhoods on one bay. Hop between them dock to dock, and never touch the highway.

Minutes by water. Every route

Book it like a car. Board it like a boat.

Every ride is private and on demand: just your group, a licensed captain and the bay.

  1. Pick your dock

    Choose a pickup and a drop-off from the stops on the map: marinas, restaurants, venues, and private docks you hold a key to.

  2. Meet your boat

    A private boat for up to 6 meets you at the dock, with an independent, USCG-licensed captain at the helm. No shared rides.

  3. Enjoy the ride

    Open water, the skyline and the breeze. Step off at the dock closest to where you are going.

The new amenity at your dock.

Homes and condos on the bay can list their dock as a private Nava stop. Residents walk down to the water instead of down to the garage, guests arrive with a key you share, and the stop never appears on the public map. Free to list.

City Hall is talking about Nava.

In July 2026 the Miami Beach Finance Committee took up Nava on the record: private, on-demand boat rides connecting residences, marinas, restaurants and venues, with no highway in between. Hear the discussion for yourself.

Nava brings riders to partner docks. Guests arrive by water, skip the parking, and spend where they land. Homes and buildings can list a private stop too.

Questions, answered.

The short version of what people ask before their first ride. Boat owners, captains, docks and investors: every question is on one page.

What is Nava?

Nava is private boat rides on demand in Miami. You request a boat in the app, and a USCG-licensed captain takes your group, up to 6 guests, from one waterfront dock to another across Biscayne Bay and the Miami River.

What is a Nava boat ride like?

Private and unhurried: your group, a licensed captain at the helm, open water, the skyline and the breeze. Every ride runs dock to dock, so you can bounce around the city on the bay: dinner on the river, drinks in Brickell, then home across the water.

Where can a Nava boat take me in Miami?

Between waterfront docks from Haulover and Bal Harbour in the north to Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne in the south, including South Beach, Sunset Harbour, Brickell, Edgewater, downtown by Kaseya Center and the restaurants along the Miami River. More than 50 stops are mapped for launch, and Miami Beach to Brickell is about 12 minutes on the water. See popular routes.

How can I get picked up at home?

If your home has a dock, register it as a private Nava stop. Captains pick you and your guests up at your dock and bring you back, and the dock never appears on the public map. It is free to list and takes about five minutes on the web. How it works for homes.

How do I get Nava at my building?

Ask the association or the building manager to register the building's dock as a private Nava stop. Whoever is authorized to speak for the dock signs up on the web in about five minutes, and a person reviews it before it goes live. Residents then request boats in the app and board at the dock downstairs. How it works for condos and HOAs.

When does Nava launch, and how do I get early access?

Nava is launching in Miami. Join early access and you get priority on launch day and hear first when the app goes live. Get early access.
