A new partnership between BoatUS and navigation technology company Savvy Navvy will help advance navigation safety and confidence among recreational boaters. Savvy Navvy provides an all-in-one app to help boaters plan safer routes, including new features including NMEA Connect that integrate with NMEA-enabled boat instruments to provide real-time data and enhance AIS visibility.
The new partnership will allow BoatUS’s 740,000 members to receive a discount on a Savvy Navvy Premium account, granting enhanced access and functionalities for safer navigation.
“BoatUS does great work for its members, and its mission to eliminate preventable recreational boating accidents aligns perfectly with why we founded Savvy Navvy,” explains David Cusworth, head of partnership and innovation at Savvy. “As a leader in digital navigation, we firmly believe in formal training, understanding navigation, and knowing what’s going on in the background while the app is doing the heavy lifting. With human error and inexperience behind so many on-water incidents, this partnership enables more boaters to access Savvy Navvy, enhancing safety and peace of mind whilst out on the water.”
“We’re excited to partner with Savvy Navvy and offer our members a discounted rate to access the Savvy Navvy navigational app,” adds Elio Betty, director of partnerships at BoatUS. “Our hope is to connect our members with a seamless navigational experience when on the water and ensure our members reach their destination safely.”
