You know what they say, it’s not the size of the boat that matters. While this saying has potentially unsavory connotations, there’s nothing to stop us from taking it in the most literal sense. With a yacht like the Enata Mirarri, it’s really not the size that matters.
The UAE-based Enata Group has its hands in many pies, with the most notable accomplishments in the marine, military, and aerospace sectors. This allows Enata Marine to leverage know-how and tech other yacht builders don’t have access to, and it’s exactly what recommended the company for the build of the Mirarri.
Rashed Al Shaal, whose family founded Gulf Craft, is launching a new company of luxury yachting, and Mirarri will serve as the flagship. Enata will handle the build, while designer Timur Bozca signs the exterior and interior designs. The result is a vessel that stands out for its futuristic design with organic inspiration, smart tech, and unrivaled performance out on the water.

The announcement notes that the Mirarri will have the Enata patented Wingman system that’s also present on the Enata Foiler, one of the world’s first smart “flying yachts.” They’re calling it that because it rises on hydrofoils to minimize friction and roll, and enhance fuel efficiency and speed. Wingman allows remote control over certain aspects of the yacht, such as OTA (over-the-air) updates, to run diagnoses and implement preventive maintenance.
The Mirarri will be built entirely out of carbon fiber, titanium, and kevlar for the lowest weight possible and, as such, the best performance on water. The dome is all-glass and apparently inspired by the bone structure of birds, allowing for enhanced aerodynamics and spectacular surround views for guests onboard.
Enata says that they can afford to use these materials, which are far from common in the marine sector, and to do so without incurring prohibitive construction costs because of their experience in aerospace.

The list of features of the Mirarri includes two full-beam cabins, a spacious and versatile lounge under the glass dome, and a barbecue spot that can double as a makeshift beach club. The cabins are finished in “vibrant colors and contemporary design elements,” according to Enata, but renders show less vibrant colors and mostly modern design, with plush fabrics in soothing neutrals, and gold and light accents throughout.
No details about propulsion or performance have been released as of this writing, but given the emphasis on the yacht’s low weight and carbon fiber construction, it’s probably safe to assume we’re talking about a mini rocket on water. Guest capacity is also not mentioned, but with a 2025 delivery date on the horizon, more details should start trickling out soon.
