MasterCraft Boat Holdings this week announced it is adding CarPlay to its upcoming Crest and Balise Pontoons. The company is working with Savvy Navvy, the leading all-in-one marine navigation app to bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto featuring Savvy Navvy’s industry-leading, on-water navigation to the Crest and Balise Pontoons.
Beginning with the 2027 model year, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto featuring Savvy Navvy compatibility will come standard on all new Balise and Crest Conquest and Caribbean models launching next month. As part of the partnership, customers who purchase a new 2027 Balise or Crest with CarPlay or Android Auto functionality will also receive access to Savvy Navvy Premium, unlocking the app’s full suite of features. The Savvy Navvy mobile app will integrate with CarPlay to show nautical charts, GPS tracking, smart routing, and live weather forecasts right alongside other CarPlay apps.
“Boaters have been asking for a modern infotainment system for years,” says Jelte Liebrand, Founder and CEO of Savvy Navvy. “Plan your trip on the couch, step aboard, and it is already at the helm. No complicated ways to synchronise things; it just works. Savvy Navvy for CarPlay works on iOS and Android with any compatible display. I’m thrilled to see Crest and Balise put CarPlay in front of their boaters.”
Savvy Navvy for CarPlay works on iOS and Android and is now available worldwide. For more information visit www.savvy-navvy.com/news/carplay.
CarPlay is included with Savvy Navvy’s Premium and Premium Plus plans in the US, and with Elite in all other regions. Crest and Balise owners get access through the plan included with their boat. Crest owners receive 1 month Premium and Balise Owners receive 12 months of Premium.
