CHART NAVIGATION
Access Savvy Navvy’s custom-built charts with global coverage. Our maps use top-quality data from NOAA, UKHO, and other hydrographic offices to give you safe, easy-to-read navigation—like a chart plotter in your pocket.

TIDE HEIGHTS GRAPH & TIDAL STREAMS
Track tidal heights and streams with our interactive tide charts. Scroll through tidal graphs to monitor highs and lows over time.

MARINE WEATHER FORECASTS
Scroll through our weather forecast graph to check wind speed, direction, and other weather conditions. Use the wind icon to view wind barbs for a visual overlay.

AIS - Over the Horizon AIS (OHA)
Stay safer on the water with real-time vessel data. Using your phone’s internet connection, we stream details like speed, distance, MMSI, and position to keep you aware of vessel movements.

ACTIVE TRACKING
Track your boat’s GPS location, view your course over ground (COG), and monitor your speed over ground (SOG). Savvy Navvy acts as your nautical GPS, giving you a course to steer based on tide calculations.

AUTOMATIC ROUTING
Plot your route in seconds. Just drop a pin for your start and finish points, and Savvy Navvy will calculate the best route for you based on wind, charts, and tidal data.

Great but only 1 issue

I really like this app it’s much cleaner boating app then any other one I’ve tried the only issue I have with it is it can’t seem to calculate any routes with a bridge going across that makes it pretty hard to plan a trip properly but if that gets fixed this would be without a doubt the best app out there

Developer Response ,

Hi - thanks for trying the app and leaving a review. We'd love to help with the bridge issue. Have you set your bridge height clearance in your boat settings? And secondly, which bridge - we can check the bridge height is encoded correctly in the app and if not, report. the Australian HO and get that corrected. You can email me directly on david@savy-navvy.com
Thanks so much. David

Very promising

Excellent app with some neat features. I particularly like the automatic weather routing which seems to work well, although more options to customise boat performance are needed (like on Predict Wind). Multiple weather models would also be welcome (again, like Predict Wind).

The pricing needs to be more competitive. Navionics is the gold standard to beat and while Savvy Navvy has some good features that Navionics doesn’t have, Navionics is much more competitively priced.

I would like to see this app grow and provide a viable alternative to Navionics. So far this is looking very promising.

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback and review, great to hear that you like what we're doing. We are looking at local as well as global data sets which will help with both tide and weather. We're working hard to constantly improve and user feedback is crucial for us to accelerate that.

Not accurate location

Generally the app doesn’t show an accurate location. I seem to be shown run aground most times at anchor.
I have spoken with tech support and had a few problems initially that they were happy to help sort.
I am only using the base model but will not be extending at the moment.
I have not been able to use for a passage despite having tried a few times, to get a location at all I have to delete and reload the app?Aqualibrium

Developer Response ,

Hi - thanks for trying out the app and really sorry to hear of your issues. Can you let me know what device you're using please and I'll happily dig into this for you. Or email me directly and david@savvy-navvy.com. User support is really important to us and we'd love to help more. David
