We’re reshapinghow Miami moves.

Nava is raising $1.2M on Net Capital to build the on-demand water-transit layer for Miami — the commute upgrade the worst-traffic city in America has been waiting for. Riders skip the bridges. Owners and captains earn on every trip. Investors own the network before anyone else can.

Problem · Solution

A waterfront city with global appealand no way to move through it.

Miami is wired for water. Bays, canals, and the Intracoastal tie every marina, condo, restaurant, and venue together. And yet it has the second-worst traffic in America — a small city with global pull and no resolution in sight. Until now.

The Problem

Miami is one long waterfront with nowhere to drive.

Passages and waterways connect every major venue, residential building, restaurant, marina, and attraction. The roads connecting them don’t keep up.

Waterfront geography
300+ mi of canals, bays & Intracoastal
US traffic rank
#2 worst · 74 hr lost / driver / yr
Global pull
F1 · World Cup '26 · Basel · Music Week
Road resolution
None. No new bridges, no new lanes.
The Solution

Nava is the water-transit layer of Miami.

On-demand private boats connecting every marina, condo, venue, and restaurant on the water. A data and partnership network, locked in city by city, before anyone else can.
