Sea Help
Sea-Help (often also SeaHelp ) is an organization that offers breakdown assistance and other services for recreational shipping . It is divided into the regions north with operations center in Grömitz , center in Punat and south in Santa Ponça . The European headquarters are located in Ebensee am Traunsee .
Sea-Help was founded in 2005 as the first European organization of its kind and has changed over the years from a pure breakdown service for pleasure boats to an institution that represents the interests of water sports enthusiasts and whose arguments are perceived on a political level.
Areas of application
Since the organization was founded, the area of application has been continuously expanded. 27 bases in Europe are on the German Baltic Sea coast (8 bases), in Croatia (7 bases), in Slovenia (1 base), on the Italian Adriatic coast (2 bases), on the Balearic Islands (4 bases), on the Costa Brava ( 2 bases) and in the Netherlands (3 bases). Analogous to breakdown assistance on the road, e.g. B. ADAC road watch , the assistance is not only offered to members, but they have the highest priority and they do not have to pay for the operations. In many of these countries, Sea-Help is the only commercial breakdown and recovery service available to provide assistance in non-life-threatening situations.

The minimum equipment of the boats consists of night navigation equipment and two powerful outboard motors for speed and sufficient bollard pull . In addition, diving equipment , a third-party bilge system , a generator , additional life jackets and common spare parts are on board.
