Boat salvage in the Stockholm archipelago
Run aground, drifted ashore or damaged your boat? We'll come out, help get you free and take the boat on to a harbour or boatyard – calmly and carefully, with safety always first.
Run aground? We'll help get you free
The archipelago is full of shallows and rocks that aren't always visible, and even experienced boaters can be unlucky. If you've run aground, try to stay calm. Call us and we'll talk through the situation with you, then come out to free the boat and get it to safety.

Help when your boat is stuck
Running aground
Ran aground on a shoal or hit a rock? We'll carefully pull the boat free and make sure it can be moved on.
Boat drifted ashore
Has your boat broken loose from its jetty or mooring buoy and drifted onto the shore? We'll help recover it and get it to safety.
Damaged boat
Damage to the hull, sterndrive or propeller? We'll take the boat somewhere the damage can be inspected.
Straight to a boatyard
We know the boatyards in the archipelago and can tow your boat straight to one that can repair it.
Photos for your insurer
If you can, take photos of the damage and where it happened. It makes things easier when you report the damage to your insurance company.
Safety first
Is anyone injured, or is the boat taking on water? Call 112 and ask for the sea rescue service first. We'll help with the boat afterwards.
Calm, careful boat salvage
Salvage takes experience and local knowledge of the archipelago. Our skippers are used to difficult situations and rough weather, and we work at whatever pace is safe for you and your boat.
We work with leading insurance companies and with Sjöassistans and Team Marin. If you've run aground:
- Check that no one on board is hurt and that everyone is wearing a life jacket.
- Check whether the boat is taking on water.
- Don't try to power off at full throttle – it can make the damage worse.
- Call us and tell us where you are and what's happened.
Common questions about boat salvage
How much does boat salvage cost?
We have fixed prices through our agreements with Sjöassistans and Team Marin. Otherwise, the price depends on where the boat is, how it's stuck and how much work is involved. Call us for a quote.
What should I do straight after running aground?
First make sure no one on board is hurt and that everyone is wearing a life jacket. Check whether the boat is taking on water, and don't try to power off at full throttle. If the boat is taking on water or anyone is injured, call 112 and ask for the sea rescue service. Otherwise, call us.
Will my insurance pay for the salvage?
That depends on the terms of your boat insurance. Contact your insurer as soon as possible to find out what you're covered for. We work with leading insurance companies.
Can you take the boat straight to a boatyard?
Yes. We know the boatyards in the archipelago and can tow the boat there so the damage can be inspected. If you already have a boatyard you'd like to use, let us know when you call.
