Discover what sets Silva apart from the rest.
85 years of navigation expertise. In 1933, Björn, Alvar and Arvid Kjellström invented the first liquid-filled compass, which was the starting point of Silva. Not only was it the first compass with that technology, but it also set a global standard for how navigation equipment works. With Silva’s 89 years of experience in compasses, they deliver boat compasses that perform at a high level and last for many years. With Silva you will find sailboat compasses, motorboat compasses and compasses for kayaks, canoes and smaller boats. If you’re after a compass that can deliver durability, low friction and accurate reading, look no further.
DURABILITY
The protective outer layer is made of transparent and scratch-resistant acrylic material that lasts year after year.
LOW FRICTION
The combination of sapphire jewel and powerful steel minimizes friction for the navigation needle, providing fast and precise movements.
ACCURATE READING
The gimbal-suspended system provides a stable and precise reading – even under the most demanding conditions on the lake.
