Navier Unveils First Experiential Pop-Up at Montauk Yacht Club

Montauk, NY – Navier, the American maritime technology company specializing in electric hydrofoil boats, is set to launch its inaugural experiential pop-up, "House of Navier," tomorrow, July 16, 2025, at the Montauk Yacht Club in the Hamptons. The event aims to introduce a "new era of nautical adventure" and will feature programming led by Maneet Ahuja, Editor-at-Large at Forbes.

The pop-up serves as a direct engagement platform for Navier, known for its innovative N30 electric hydrofoiling vessel. The N30 is designed to glide above the water, offering a significantly smoother, quieter, and more efficient ride compared to traditional boats by reducing drag and wake. This technology underpins Navier's mission to transform water travel into a more sustainable and accessible experience.

Navier, founded in 2019 by Sampriti Bhattacharyya, has quickly gained traction in the marine industry, securing over $15 million in funding from notable investors including Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The company's focus extends beyond recreational use, with ambitions to develop larger vessels for commercial operators and water taxi services, aiming to reduce operational costs by as much as tenfold.

Maneet Ahuja, a prominent journalist and author, brings her extensive expertise from the intersection of Wall Street, billionaires, and entrepreneurial capitalism to the event. As Forbes' Editor-at-Large and founder of its ICONOCLAST summit, her involvement underscores the business and innovation aspects of Navier's venture, highlighting the strategic significance of electric hydrofoil technology.

The "House of Navier" pop-up is anticipated to showcase the company's commitment to clean, high-performance marine solutions. Attendees in the Hamptons are invited to experience firsthand the future of boating, as Navier continues to push the boundaries of maritime innovation and sustainable transportation.
