Master Craft Boat Holdings announced that Apple CarPlay is coming to its upcoming Crest and Balise Pontoons. The company is partnering with Savvy Navvy to deliver CarPlay and on-water navigation to boaters. Select 2027 Crest or Balise pontoon buyers will access CarPlay with familiar features, while the Savvy Navvy app integrates with CarPlay to display nautical charts, GPS tracking, smart routing, and live weather forecasts alongside other CarPlay apps.

Savvy Navvy provides water navigation not available through Apple Maps CarPlay integration. "Boaters have been asking for a modern infotainment system for years," says Jelte Liebrand, Founder and CEO of Savvy Navvy. Starting with the 2027 model year, CarPlay with Savvy Navvy comes standard on all new Balise and Crest Conquest and Caribbean models, with a limited Premium subscription included. The Savvy Navvy app is available for CarPlay worldwide today and works with any compatible display, including aftermarket marine head units.
