Fresh greens, grown where you dine.

The MAV Mini is a showpiece aeroponic garden for chef-driven restaurants, superyacht galleys and private kitchens. Herbs and microgreens, harvested minutes before the plate.

The problem

Basil lasts a few days in a fridge. Micro herbs are hard to find in the islands, and flying them in costs a small fortune. On day ten of a crossing, the garnish is usually the first thing to go.

The MAV Mini

A living garden built to be seen.

The MAV Mini grows herbs, microgreens and specialty greens with no soil and nothing to spill. It's finished like a piece of furniture and built to sit in the galley or the dining room.

Built for the boat.

It runs on shore power anywhere in the world, or on the vessel's own 24 V DC system as an option, and a marine installation kit is available for fixed securing.

Built for the chef.

A crop program is designed around your menu, so the chef harvests what they actually cook with.

Built for the owner.

A centerpiece your guests will ask about.

Finishes

Made to belong in the room.

Four standard finishes on the same frame, so a finish never changes the build. Custom colors and veneers are quoted per project.

Modular by design

Start with one level. Stack up to three.

One base holds the tanks, pumps and controls. Identical levels lock on top, and every connection meets blind at the rear rail. It ships as modules that stack and latch together on board.

Footprint23 x 38 in, about 6 sq ft, in every size
WaterIts own water, nutrient and waste tanks. No plumbing.
Power110 V or 230 V at 50 or 60 Hz, or the vessel's 24 V DC
ClimateEvery level cools itself. No refrigerant.

How we build

One at a time, and you see every step.

Every MAV Mini is built to order in New York. As an owner, you get a build log through every phase.

01

Grow-tested

Grow-tested and run for at least seven days in New York before it ships.

03

Run for a full week

Pressure, leak and electrical checks, then at least seven days of continuous running.

Independently evaluated

We plan to have each unit evaluated by a third-party electrical lab before delivery, billed at cost.

Founding Slots
