A strategic partnership combining Audison and Hertz’s expertise with Navico Group’s technologies to create new integration opportunities for boat builders.
Elettromedia and Navico Group, a division of Brunswick Corporation a global leader in integrated systems and marine electronics, have announced a strategic partnership to develop a new approach to integrated onboard audio solutions. The agreement was unveiled on 8 September 2026 in Cannes, during the Cannes Yachting Festival.
The collaboration is built on a shared vision: designing the audio experience as an integral part of the vessel’s technology ecosystem. The two companies will work together to enable more seamless and intelligent connections between premium audio solutions, multifunction displays and other onboard technologies. Their goal is to provide boat builders with complete solutions, designed from the outset to work in harmony.
Under the agreement, Audison and Hertz will become Navico Group’s preferred audio brands, while Navico Group’s brand portfolio will become Elettromedia’s reference platform for multifunction displays in marine applications. The partnership will support boat builders worldwide, building on existing commercial relationships while preserving both companies’ flexibility to collaborate with other participants in the marine sector.
“Together with Navico Group, we can envision a new approach to onboard audio systems, where sound and the intelligence of the vessel become part of a single project,” said Pietro Pantaleone, President of Elettromedia.
For boat builders, this vision creates opportunities to develop integrated audio solutions alongside the vessel’s other functions from the earliest design stages. For those on the water, the aim is a more intuitive, connected and immersive experience, where music enriches every moment and becomes an integral part of life on board.
