Born on the Water. Built to Save Lives.
NaviCap started with a simple, terrifying realization: the people most at risk on the water are the ones least likely to be seen. We set out to fix that — with technology so natural to use, boaters would never leave the dock without it.
Make Every Boater Visible. Every Time.
700+ Americans die in preventable boating accidents every year. The majority are invisible to other vessels in low-light conditions. NaviCap exists to end that statistic — one cap at a time.
Safety First
Every decision we make starts with one question: does this make boaters safer? If the answer isn't yes, we don't ship it.
Wearable by Default
The best safety device is the one you actually use. NaviCap is designed to be worn naturally — not clipped, strapped, or remembered.
USCG-Compliant
We don't cut corners on compliance. NaviCap meets U.S. Coast Guard navigation light standards — the same standards used by commercial vessels.
Built for the Real World
IPX7 waterproof. 12-hour battery. USB-C charging. NaviCap is engineered for the conditions boaters actually face — not lab conditions.
Builders, Boaters, and Believers
NaviCap was founded by a team with deep roots in marine safety, wearable technology, and consumer hardware. We've lived the problem firsthand — and we're building the solution.
Founder & CEO
Marine safety veteran with 15+ years on the water. Former USCG auxiliary member. Saw the visibility problem up close and decided to solve it.
Head of Hardware
10+ years in consumer wearable hardware. Previously led product development at a top-5 outdoor tech brand. Holds 3 patents in LED miniaturization.
Head of Software
Full-stack engineer with deep experience in GPS and IoT systems. Previously built real-time tracking systems for maritime logistics.
First and Only. Patent Pending. Revolutionary.
NaviCap is the first and only patent-pending revolutionary wearable LED navigation cap of its kind. Our IP covers the integration of USCG-compliant navigation lighting into a wearable cap form factor — creating a defensible moat in a market with no direct competitors anywhere in the world.
