Boating services and communication in the Nordic

Sjoassistans is offering the boat-owner service and peace of mind. We are the leading supplier of maritime service and support to the boating-community in the Nordic. Since the start in 1999, we have already assisted more than 10,000 seafarers. Sjoassistans is operated by and collocated with Stockholmradio.

As a customer to Sjoassistans you are free to use our service as often as you wish or need. We know that a lot can happen while you are at sea. A broken impeller, a rope in the prop, a busted throttle-wire, out of petrol, batteries gone flat, engine overheats just to mention a few of the most common problems. If you run into a problem like that, assistance is only a VHF- or cellphone-call away, 24 hours a day 7 days a week!

The cost for this service is under normal circumstances covered to 100% by the insurance which is included in the membership fee. Hence, you no longer need to worry about how to solve the problem, or what it would have cost you without Sjoassistans.

The main components of the insurance are:

• Towing/salvage to the nearest shipyard or homeport, maximum cost 600 Euros.
• Transport of petrol, spare-parts or divers etc, maximum cost 300 Euros
• Cost for travel back home if your boat suffers a major problem, maximum 600 Euros.

The direct cost for the service given by the mechanic or diver, and for petrol and spare-parts is not covered by the insurance. 

In addition to this we can also assist with advice and consultation on various subjects such as weather forecasts, opening hours of bridges or locks, where to eat or anchor and much more. Advice and consultation are free of charge.

N.B. contact with Sjoassistans is only available in swedish or english language.

Price per year for Sjoassistans, 895 SEK. (Aprox 90 Euros)
