MasterCraft brings CarPlay and Android Auto to its pontoon boats, partnering with Savvy Navvy to offer on‑water navigation. The new models from sub‑brands Crest and Balise will launch next month with built‑in infotainment and smart routing. The Savvy Navvy app provides 2D/3D charts, marina search, live ETA, and nearby boat traffic.

Users can plan trips on a couch and have the route ready at the helm. Jelte Liebrand, CEO of Savvy Navvy, says boaters have long wanted a modern infotainment system. Helm displays on Balise and Crest Conquest/Caribbean models support Android Auto, defaulting to Savvy Navvy. Phone connectivity works via wired or Bluetooth links, and buyers receive Savvy Navvy Premium with extra features.

The system also unlocks advanced navigation tools for premium users, and the integration works on aftermarket marine head units, with Crest and Balise being the first brands to include it as standard on 2027 models. The app is available for iOS and Android.
