Savvy Navvy app described as ‘Google Maps for boaters’
Savvy Navvy was created by former Google software engineer and avid sailor Jelte Liebrand who wanted to bring an all-in-one navigation solution to the market, enabling more boaters to confidently and safely enjoy their time out on the water.
Avec plus de 415 000 nouveaux utilisateurs de bateaux entrant sur le marché américain chaque année, il y a une opportunité croissante et un besoin potentiel de fournir aux nouveaux plaisanciers une confiance accrue pour aller sur l'eau en toute sécurité.
Furthermore, a huge amount of time and effort is spent on navigation, with some of Savvy Navvy’s initial findings showing a third of boaters typically using multiple apps and spending up to two hours on navigation each day during their trip. Experiencing this complexity himself mid-Pacific during the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, is what gave Jelte Liebrand the idea for the Savvy Navvy app, which he launched with co-founder Kevin O’Neill in 2017.
La confiance dans l'entreprise britannique de technologie marine est manifestement au plus haut, puisqu'elle vient de lever plus de 1,8 million de dollars par le biais de sa campagne de crowdfunding le mois dernier, ce qui témoigne d'un énorme intérêt pour l'innovation sur le marché florissant de la plaisance, qui continue de se développer rapidement après la pandémie de Covid.
So, what is Savvy Navvy?
Liebrand explains: “Savvy Navvy is an app based solution and really is as simple as ‘Google Maps for boats’. Our vision from the outset has been for Savvy Navvy to be in every boater’s pocket, supporting both new and experienced boaters on the water. But we’ve actually now gone beyond that, supporting kayakers, paddleboarders and jet skiers. Our designers built Savvy charts™ from the ground up, using official NOAA hydrographic data, to show essential marine information with a clean and easy-to-view interface for safety and ease of use, enabling better and quicker navigation.
"Au cours des cinq dernières années, nous avons travaillé dur pour développer constamment notre application avec des fonctionnalités uniques et conviviales. Dans le cadre de notre croissance continue, notre nouveau plan gratuit donnera à toute personne sur l'eau, qu'il s'agisse d'un paddleboarder, d'un kayakiste ou d'une personne dans un yacht de 50 pieds, l'accès à notre plateforme. Ce nouveau plan gratuit vient compléter notre option premium, populaire et plus complète, qui a été multipliée par vingt rien que l'année dernière."

With more than a quarter of a million users in more than 100 countries globally, Savvy Navvy is growing rapidly as more people want one easily accessible app to confidently plan their routes on the water.
“Savvy Navvy is constantly evolving, changing and pushing new innovation based on user feedback, which drives everything we do. Understanding what the pain points are from our customers is absolutely critical and one of the reasons why we're so open, so transparent, so direct. If there's something that’s not quite working for someone, then we want to know about it, so we can address it. I think that's one of the biggest things that sets us apart from others is that we listen. We really want to hear the views from our hundreds of thousands of users and ultimately together make a better product and a better boating experience for anybody out on the water,” says Jelte Liebrand.
