Why Join Sea Start?
Sea Start operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week and 365 days a year, so you can call us out any time of the day or night. We have been established for over 15 years and therefore we have gathered the sort of experience that no other similar service could possibly offer. The cost of this comprehensive assistance is great value:
- Our average response time is 45 minutes
- Over 90% of calls are resolved there and then
- Over 50% of our members call for help each year
|
|
- Over 90% of calls are at weekends or at night
- 10% of calls are to vessels with fouled propellers
- Over 16% of calls are to vessels under 12 months old

Members First
Although we do our best to attend calls from non-members, we have to put our members first. In 2005 we were only able to attend about 28% of calls for assistance from non-members. Those we were able to assist were, however, charged a year's membership plus a hefty call-out fee in the range of £65.00-£95.00. In order to avoid this uncertainty and potential cost, become a member!
New members become part of our database, and as it grows we are able to forecast very accurately the staff and boats needed at any time of the year (linked to the prevailing weather) in order to service our membership.
