Basic Safety Guide: Sea Help in Croatia

Sailing in Croatia is amazing! But sometimes, little problems happen on the water. Maybe your engine stops. Maybe you lose your power. For these moments, there is a company called Sea Help. They are your friends on the water.

What is Sea Help?

It is like road help (like yellow angels) but for boats. They are a big club. Their goal is to help you stay safe. They have special boats and people always ready.

How to Get It?

You can get Sea Help for just one trip! You can buy a special insurance plan. This is perfect for charter sailors. This insurance helps you and your crew.

You must buy this insurance before you start your trip. The best way is to go to their website: www.sea-help.eu. On the website, you can fill out a simple form and pay. It is very easy.

What is in the Package?

Their insurance gives you many things. These are the main services:

• Towing: If your boat cannot move, they pull it to a safe place.
• Jump-starting: If your battery is dead, they start your engine.
• Fuel delivery: If you run out of fuel, they bring some.
• Freeing a propeller: If a rope gets around your prop, they remove it.
• Medical help (VERY IMPORTANT): This is the biggest benefit. The package includes emergency medical help.

Let’s See an Example

You are on a charter sailboat on the Adriatic. One day, a crew member feels a terrible pain. It is appendicitis (vakbélgyulladás). They need to go to a hospital NOW, not in two hours. You call Sea Help. Because you have the right package, Sea Help gets you a medical helicopter. The helicopter picks up the sick person right from the boat and takes them to a hospital. Your insurance pays for this!

Price

The price for one trip (e.g., one week) is very small. It is like the cost of one good dinner. For this, your entire crew and your boat are protected. It is worth it for the peace of mind.

Communication

• Hungarian help? No. This is important. In Croatia, Sea Help speaks Croatian, English, and German. They do not have special Hungarian speakers.
• Languages: You can speak basic English with them. They are very used to helping international tourists.
