Boat displays redefined – Glass Cockpit system

Once you experience Volvo Penta's Glass Cockpit system, there's no going back. By seamlessly integrating engine, navigation, and vessel data into one easy-to-use screen, it can transform your journey at sea with a new level of convenience.

Get the most out of your boat

Seasoned captain or leisure cruiser, Volvo Penta’s Glass Cockpit is for those seeking the next level in boating. This advanced system harmoniously blends functionality and elegance. Allowing you to take on the water with precision and ease, with just a light touch.

Everything in one place

Vessel information and vessel controls, such as engine data, trip info, boat trim and autopilot are all clearly displayed on the Glass Cockpit. You can also experience integrated navigation and advanced docking features like our 360 camera view – and even control your music, lights, cabin temperature and blinds while you’re at it.

Beautiful, premium design

The system features weatherproof and advanced hardware from Garmin. Ranging from a compact 7” to 27”, and equipped with network capabilities and remote control support. For OEMs, we offer customization for seamless integration with your design.

The power is in your hands

With Volvo Penta’s Glass Cockpit, adjusting the lighting to create the perfect ambiance, fine-tuning the audio to set the mood, and navigating with precision are all at your fingertips. And the innovation doesn’t stop there. App connectivity, like ActiveCaptain™ and Easy Connect, gives you even greater control, making it easier to relax and enjoy the ride.

At the heart of the system lies the advanced Garmin Chartplotter functionality – a comprehensive map system equipped with GPS and depth control. This core feature provides you with the peace of mind that you're on the right course with the information you need.

Volvo Penta Joystick, Assisted Docking and Garmin Surround View work harmoniously with the the Glass Cockpit interface, offering you a new level of control with precision driving and effortless docking.

From fuel consumption and engine speed to temperature and diagnostics, stay informed and proactive with real-time information at your fingertips. 

Beyond engine data, we offer a range of related features for enhanced functionality. Monitor fuel levels, track maintenance schedules, and receive alerts for any anomalies for smooth cruising. 
Your boat, your design. The same goes for your display. The boat display is customizable to your preferences, showing only what you want to see in your exact chosen order. And with multiple screens, the possibilities are even greater.
You know about smart homes, but have you heard about smart boats? Stay informed and in control with alerts for critical situations like high water levels or low battery power while maintaining a real-time overview of your boat's condition. Or switch up the music and pull down the blinds, all in a seamless experience.

Designed with you in mind. Our Glass Cockpit system combines user-friendly and comprehensive control and monitoring to make your journey flow as smoothly as the sea itself.

Powerful integrations

Assisted Docking simplifies your boat docking experience by removing unexpected variables caused by wind and current. Complemented by the Glass Cockpit, it displays real-time movement and adjustments, providing you with awareness and control over the force required to stabilize your boat.
In tight maneuvering situations, the built-in Garmin Surround View Camera System eliminates blind spots with live bird's-eye view video and 360-degree helm visibility. It also features adjustable alarms that measure distance, helping you precisely gauge the dock's position — be it 1 meter, 1.5 meters, or 2 meters away.
The Joystick system is compatible with Volvo Penta IPS, Sterndrive, and Inboard Shaft systems. A press of the docking button seamlessly transitions your screens to a customized setup where you can see everything; from a large sonar view for depth measurement and Garmin Surround View, to the Assisted Docking interactive screen.
Joystick Control
Whether you're in rough waters or need to stay in a specific location, the DPS automatically maintains your vessel’s position, heading, and depth, while the Glass Cockpit provides real-time insights to help you monitor how effectively your boat is holding its position.
Access charts anywhere, wireless software updates, community insights, plan trips, and get text alerts for control and peace of mind with ActiveCaptain™ from Garmin. For deeper insights and understanding of your boats wellbeing, from the inside out, EasyConnect from Volvo Penta is your go to source.
The Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit offers seamless integration with systems like Autopilot, Interceptor System and fault code monitoring to enhance your boating experience. It also supports Wi-Fi and AIS (Automatic Identification System), ensuring visibility to even the largest vessels, like container ships.
