Volvo Penta Easy Connect is an app that allows you to stay connected to your motor yacht.
Now you can monitor engine systems and status, plan ahead, or send crucial engine data via
email to your dealer, all from your smartphone or tablet.
At Riviera, our design team is committed to ensuring the technology aboard our world-class motor yachts is there to make our owners’ lives easier and the use of their Rivieras more enjoyable. Only superior quality and time-proven products are specified by our team, based on experience, reputation, and extensive research. Bill Gates once said on the subject: “The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really even notice it, so it’s part of everyday life.” Volvo Penta Easy Connect does exactly that, making it easier than ever to command a Riviera’s operations and, by doing so, enhance your enjoyment of boating and owning a luxury motor yacht.
This smart technology works by providing an overview of vessel, engines, and route information by using Bluetooth to link this information to a smartphone or tablet. From anywhere within range of the helm, it offers an extensive array of at-a-glance live boat and engine data including the fuel level, fuel consumption, fresh water tank levels, depth, speed, direction, and coolant temperature. Trip information includes the ability to monitor the current position and review detailed charts thanks to the seamless integration with Navionics. All the trip data from previous trips is accessible too and, at the touch of a button, can be shared with friends who have the same app.

LESS INVESTIGATION, MORE ACTION
Perhaps the feature of most value to an owner, is the ability to send selected vessel and engine information to a Riviera dealer in a single email. When it comes to a fault diagnosis, this is very advantageous. The Easy Connect app automatically generates the email with equipment serial numbers, chassis numbers, and status information about all the equipment on board, including live software and hardware information. Having all this data at hand instantly makes diagnosing a fault and its solution easier than ever before. What may have previously required an extended conversation and explanation, and possibly multiple engine room visits, is now managed via one email sent directly from the app. For those Riviera owners who don’t consider themselves technically minded, this technology offers another level of peace of mind and an excellent means by which you can better understand the operating systems of your yacht, further building confidence and knowledge.
Easy Connect communicates with other equipment aboard, so that even remotely, and wherever you are, you can monitor your Riviera.
COMPATIBILITY
The system operates with a small hardware component that is installed below the dash in the electronic vessel control system. A connection is then made via Bluetooth to the Easy Connect app on a smartphone or tablet. It’s that simple. And like all the technology aboard a Riviera, Easy Connect has been selected for its ability to communicate with other equipment aboard. It talks to the CZone electrical system, which in turn connects to Siren Marine so that even remotely, wherever an owner is, they can monitor their Riviera, or have their dealer, service technician or captain do this for them, accessing the data last reported when the ignition was turned on. Whether a yacht is under the command of a delivery skipper, family or friends, an owner can have remote operational oversight of their Riviera.
Your Riviera dealer will be able to provide further insight into the immense capability and operational procedures of this system.
