About the service
Sea Start is a breakdown service not a lifeboat service. That is to say, amongst other factors they do take account of the prevailing weather before putting to sea. This means whilst they use their best endeavours to help you, attendance is at their discretion.
Membership provides you with unlimited access to Sea Start expertise by land (shore side service) or sea (waterborne service) within their service area. You also have access to their telephone advice at anytime and anywhere.
Sea Start is available 24/7 all year round. Their breakdown service is for engine(s), steering gear and fouled propeller problems.
