It was a blast flying the Quanta with @AstroVicGlover!
Victor Glover (@AstroVicGlover) flew F/A-18s, piloted SpaceX Crew-1 and Artemis II, and became the FIRST person outside Navier’s core team to fly Quanta.
Quanta’s flight controls use the same principles as a fighter jet’s. It was an honor to have Victor and his wife, Dionna, aboard for a flyby during San Francisco Fleet Week! 🇺🇸🌊

Today we honor the generations of Americans who have served our nation with courage, dedication, and sacrifice.
As we mark America’s 250th anniversary, we reflect with gratitude on those who have defended our freedoms and helped shape our nation’s history.
From all of us at Navier, thank you for your service.
PS: that’s Victor Glover (@AstroVicGlover)- former US Navy captain and Artemis || astronaut at the helm of Quanta.

We have been working heads down building the most formidable platform for the sea. At UpSummit at @NASAKennedy, attendees got a first look at our unmanned Quanta-D.
More info on live demonstrations/ official product launch, mission announcements coming soon!
2,100 nautical miles at 20 knots. 105 continuous hours on foil. On a 30-foot hydrofoiling vessel.
That’s what we engineered our unmanned Quanta-D to do. It foils in Sea State 4, where our benchmarks put its range at roughly 4–5× that of comparable boats.
Yes, you read that right.
Hydrofoils have a reputation for being hard to keep running. We built Quanta, our hybrid-electric Generalized Marine Vessel Platform (GMVP), for days offshore, with redundant systems and embedded sensors for remote diagnostics. It carries modular payloads and can operate with or without a crew.
A year after we announced GMVP at UP.Summit, attendees got their first look at Quanta-D at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
In the coming days, we’ll share on-water test footages, announce dates for the official public launch and live demonstrations, and reveal more about our upcoming missions and our defense and commercial partners.
This is a capability leap that fundamentally changes what America can do at sea.

We had a blast with @teslaownersSV! Great video 🚀🌊
I rode the @navierboat electric hydrofoil out with Sandy Munro. It lifts above the water, glides over wakes, and uses NACS charging. This is a different kind of electric ride. @sampritibh

Introducing CAPEWEEK: The Great American Aerospace and Technology Expo, on the 15,001-foot former Space Shuttle runway at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Debuts March 27 - April 2, 2028. #CAPEWEEK

NASA IS SO BACK!
In 2011, Atlantis landed at Kennedy on STS-135, the last Space Shuttle flight. This week at @NASAKennedy, we were talking about building a permanent base on the Moon.
I was working on autonomous flight controls at @NASAAmes that summer. Probably the best summer of my life. My first taste of Silicon Valley, and I made friends for life. I also got to meet @Astro_Sandy (pic below!) and the rest of that 135 shuttle crew, which was epic! But Ames itself felt almost empty. It felt like the really groundbreaking stuff had slowed down.
With the shuttles retired, NASA would rely on Russia’s Soyuz to get astronauts to the ISS. That was also the summer I first heard of @SpaceX. I remember people asking if commercial space was the only path forward. Or if there would be much of an American space future.
I always thought we needed both. We needed SpaceX, and we needed NASA to keep doing the fundamental science and taking on things nobody knew how to do yet.
The NASA I’d read about growing up felt pretty far away that summer. I ended up going to @MIT for my PhD.
I’ve never felt as much energy at NASA as I did this week @NASAKennedy. @rookisaacman/ @NASAAdmin is incredible, maybe one of the best NASA administrators ever. The next Artemis missions. And mission Mars! There’s also the Space Force’s new special ops command, and a U.S. Space Academy!
And Cyrus Sigari (@1sigari), the founder of UP.Summit, is a real magician. What he and the team pulled off at Kennedy was wild. And now @CapeWeek in 2028 will be on the old shuttle runway. Just wow!
I was 15 in Kolkata, India, glued to our cable TV watching Spirit and Opportunity. And the Apollo documentary. I don’t think I’d be doing what I do today without NASA.
This was definitely the best UP.Summit yet. For a few days, a bunch of us aviators, space engineers, and builders shared that same childlike excitement about what’s out there to explore. And now WE get to build the things that will take us there.
Ad astra 🚀🇺🇸✨💫

15 years apart ❤️
2011: Working on autonomous flight controls at NASA.
2026: Back at NASA with an unmanned flying boat w autonomous flight controls.
Full circle moment! 🚀🌊🇺🇸

Flying electric boat?!?! This is the @navierboat N30 Hydrofoil, and it is the smoothest ride on the water, guaranteed 😎
Navier retweeted
Waterfront communities along the Intracoastal Waterway between St. Augustine and Jacksonville already deal with heavy traffic on A1A and US-1. A private electric hydrofoil shuttle using the Navier N35 Shuttle could give residents a direct, convenient water connection between neighborhoods and the two cities—without adding more cars to those roads.
The ride quality is a major advantage. Navier’s active foil control delivers a smooth, quiet, and stable foiling experience that feels nothing like a conventional boat or a congested highway commute. For communities with existing docks or marina access, it could serve as a premium amenity that improves daily mobility while supporting local concerns about traffic.
Would a low-impact water shuttle like this be useful for your community?

Before we share what’s next for Navier, a look at where it all began.
@TimDraper was one of our earliest investors, one of our first customers, and has been one of our biggest champions. Here’s Tim on the N30 Pioneer, our first vessel, and the magic of the technology behind it!
In the coming months, we’ll unveil our next generation of vessels, new partnerships, and an ecosystem that extends well beyond boats.
Pioneer was just the beginning 🌊
Hello from Austin @theXtakeover!
Come learn about Navier and what we are doing to bring sustainable transportation and boating to waterfront properties like Four Seasons, Lake Austin!
Fun day supporting our @Tesla friends! @teslaownersSV
