Sea Tow and Savvy Navvy Team Up to Bring Smarter Navigation and Fuel Management to Boaters Nationwide

Sea Tow and marine navigation app Savvy Navvy have announced a new collaboration to bring digital navigation tools and on-water safety knowledge together for boaters across the United States. Sea Tow Captains at more than 100 franchise locations nationwide now have access to Savvy Navvy Premium accounts, while Sea Tow members receive an exclusive discount on their own Premium subscription and access to a curated series of safety resources.

Savvy Navvy's smart routing functionality helps boaters plan an efficient course, manage fuel more effectively, and better understand conditions ahead — including the ability to find the nearest Sea Tow location standing by to assist. Users set their cruising speed and fuel efficiency to match their vessel and engine; the app then estimates whether conditions are helping or hindering fuel efficiency and provides a dynamic ETA based on speed and progress.

The timing is pointed. Sea Tow's 2026 member survey — which generated more than 5,500 responses — found that 84% of boaters cited fuel as the expense that has increased the most. Among those who have adjusted their habits in response to rising fuel costs, 42% are taking shorter trips, 38% are staying closer to home, and 29% are running at lower speeds. The survey also found that before heading out, more than two-thirds of respondents check the marine forecast, fuel levels, wind, and tides — underscoring how much preparation happens before the lines are cast off.

"Boaters are looking for practical ways to make the most of their time on the water, and this collaboration brings together two brands focused on helping them do just that," said Sea Tow President Kristen Frohnhoefer. "Savvy Navvy expands the resources available to Sea Tow Captains and members, whether they're planning their next trip or already underway."

Savvy Navvy complements the features already available through the Sea Tow App, including radar and wind tracking, tides, Coastal Marine Zone forecasts, and direct access to on-water assistance. Together, the two apps give boaters tools to plan ahead, prepare before leaving the dock, and make informed decisions while underway. For more information, visit seatow.com.
