SVS Service Area

There are no travel fees associated with local hire, which falls within a 60km radius of our call-out locations in Eastern Ontario (Prince Edward County, Bath, Collins Bay), which equates to 120km of travel time free to you.  

Outside of this range, we charge $0.95 / km travelled plus time and expenses (tolls, hotels, etc).

Ex: If your boat is 100km away from one of our call-out locations, the first 60km is N/C.  The final 40km requires a round trip travel of 80km (at 0.95 = $76) plus time en route (at $50/hr = apx $50) for a total of $126 (+HST)

​SVS is a mobile service provider, travelling to the vessel or training location to suit your needs. 


We can discuss options with you if the vessel is outside of our local service area.


We book our own travel and work to keep costs low, minimizing your costs.
