Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have thus far been for road-going vehicles, but both navigation apps are expanding to new territories courtesy of MasterCraft Boat Holdings and marine navigation app Savvy Navvy. The companies have announced a partnership that brings the app to MasterCraft's new Crest Marine and Balise Pontoons boats via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. According to a press release, this feature will come standard on 2027 Balise and Crest Conquest and Caribbean models, which are set for release in September 2026. Rob Nye, Director of Portfolio and Product Lifecycle of Crest and Balise, added that this is a major step forward in providing boaters with simplified, seamless navigational technology that makes for a more comfortable travel experience. Regardless of whether you think Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is the better navigation app, this industry-first collaboration seems like a major upgrade for boaters all the same.
