News!
The new berth system of the City of Helsinki Sports Services has been launched!
For the 2025–2026 winter storage season, berths are reserved via the new Timmi booking system at venehelsinki.timmi.fi, where the customer must register and use strong authentication in the Suomi.fi service. You can confirm your winter storage square space for the upcoming 2025–2026 season right after registration. You can renew your space reservation until Monday 8 September 2025 at 10.00.
Reservation periods
Wed 20 August – Mon 8 September at 10.00. Customers can confirm their own winter storage square space for the 2025–2026 winter storage period. Changing spaces is also possible, but only for customers who had a winter storage square space in the previous season. Spaces that are not confirmed for the next winter storage season during the reservation period will become available for reservation as of 8 September 2025 at 10.00.
Mon 8 September at 12.00 – Sun 14 September at 23.59. The right of pre-emption season for customers living in Helsinki. New customers in Helsinki will be able to reserve available spaces.
Mon 15 September from 00.00 onwards. The winter storage season begins. The reservation period open for all starts, allowing all customers to reserve available spaces in the winter storage square space areas.
The berth reservation and confirmation period for the 2026 sailing season will start in early 2026. This means that you can already register in the new system, but you will not be required to do anything to confirm your berth. We will provide more information about the confirmation and reservation of berths for the 2026 sailing season later.
As a winter storage square space holder, do this to confirm your space for the 2025–2026 winter storage season:
- Go to venehelsinki.timmi.fi and register in the system. When registering, use the same email address to which you received your winter storage square space invoice for the previous season. When you register, a confirmation link will be sent to your email address, via which you can log in to the new system and view your own information. After registering, you can change your email address from the ‘My information’ tab if you want to.
- New customers register directly in the system and are not sent a separate confirmation message by email.
- Please make sure that your contact details, your boat details, and your space and reservation information are correct. If your space or reservation information is incorrect, please contact the berth reservation service venepaikkavaraukset@hel.fi(Link opens default mail program) . You can update your phone number and email address directly in the system. If your address information is incorrect, you must bring it up to date yourself in the Population Information System: https://www.suomi.fi/instructions-and-support/your-data/personal-data-in-population-information-system/reporting-and-changing-personal-data(Link leads to external service)
- Pay for your winter storage square space in the reservation system at venehelsinki.timmi.fi by 8 September at 10.00. You can confirm your space in the ‘My items’ tab. At this stage, you should also check that the details of the boat attached to the reservation are correct. You can edit the boat details in the ‘My information’ tab.
- Please note! Square spaces whose reservation is not renewed will become available for all in September.
- After paying, you can update your personal details and view your reservations in the booking system in the ‘My information’ and ‘My items’ tabs.
Changing your space
- You can browse available winter storage square spaces in the system in the ‘Boat place search’ tab. Select a winter storage area to view and press ‘Book’ for the available space that you want. The system will ask you to select the space that you want to relinquish. You can then proceed to pay for the new space via the ‘Book and pay’ button.
- You do not need to confirm your space from the previous season before changing your space. As such, you can reserve a new space directly in the winter storage area of your choice, and your old space from the previous season will automatically be cancelled.
Winter storage of your boat in the hoisting order areas
- Please register in the venehelsinki.timmi.fi system and make sure that your contact details and boat details are correct.
- The earliest time that you can take your boat to one of our hoisting order areas is Monday 15 September 2025.
