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.
Com mais de 415.000 utilizadores de barcos que entram pela primeira vez todos os anos no mercado dos EUA, há uma oportunidade crescente e uma necessidade potencial de proporcionar aos novos barqueiros uma maior confiança para saírem para a água em segurança.
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.
A confiança na empresa britânica de tecnologia marinha está claramente no auge, tendo acabado de angariar mais de 1,8 milhões de dólares através da sua campanha de crowdfunding no mês passado, demonstrando um enorme interesse em inovar o florescente mercado de navegação que continua a crescer rapidamente após a pandemia 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.
"Nos últimos cinco anos temos trabalhado arduamente para desenvolver constantemente a nossa aplicação com características únicas e fáceis de utilizar. Como parte do nosso crescimento contínuo, o nosso novo plano gratuito dará a qualquer pessoa na água, quer seja um remador, um caiaque ou alguém num iate de 50 pés acesso à nossa plataforma. Este novo plano gratuito complementa a nossa popular e mais abrangente opção premium, que cresceu vinte vezes só no último ano".

“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.
