SeaHelp

The SeaHelp app offers all skippers, not just SeaHelp members, and the ability to request professional help in the event of a breakdown with just two clicks. The app automatically transmits the emergency call via SMS to the SeaHelp headquarters in Punat, including your mobile phone number and the current coordinates, which are generated from your mobile phone’s GPS. In the event of a breakdown, skippers only need to press the emergency call button. This is followed by an immediate call back to the Punat Operations Centre to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. At the same time, a SeaHelp rescue boat is dispatched to the scene of the accident. SeaHelp offers this service free of charge to all skippers, including non-members. If, as is common with suddenly occurring storms, several emergency calls from members and non-members arrive at the same time, members will receive preferential treatment depending on the type and extent of the operation. That is why SeaHelp recommends the conclusion of a membership.
