savvy navvy partners with charter company Zizoo

Marine technology company, savvy navvy, has teamed up with Zizoo, a boat rental platform, to give marine tourists across the globe access to an app which it describes as ‘Google maps for boats’.

Zizoo will integrate savvy navvy’s technology as part of its user platforms.

“Our vision from the outset has been for savvy navvy to be in every boater’s pocket, supporting both new and experienced boaters,” says Jelte Liebrand, savvy navvy’s CEO.

“With boating holidays on the rise across the world, we are delighted to work with Zizoo to support responsible and sustainable marine tourism. savvy navvy continues to grow across the globe and partnering with a leading boat charter company, means we can give simplified navigation access to the thousands of people chartering boats and enhancing their sailing experience adding value to us and them.”

Zizoo caters both to licensed sailors looking to book a boat only, and to those with no sailing experience, interested in hiring a boat together with a captain and optional crew.

“We are always looking to enhance our customers’ experience and ways they can maximise their charter holiday,” says Anna Banicevic, Zizoo’s CEO. “Our partnership with savvy navvy will definitely do that – as we want to make boating a simpler, more pleasurable and safe experience for anyone navigating the waters.”

savvy navvy says its app takes into account wind, weather, tides, and user preferences to produce the fastest and safest routes available. Since being set up by Jelte Liebrand and co-Founder Kevin O’Neill only five years ago, savvy navvy has grown rapidly and today has nearly half a million users in more than 100 countries across the globe. In January 2022, the company exceeded its crowdfunding target for the fourth time.
