Low-earth-orbit satellite coverage on every ocean. A discreet antenna, hidden cabling and the plan that fits the way you sail.
MaritLink does not install: it coordinates the fitting through a certified integrator and then runs the line from a dashboard included in the service (2026). What changes is everything after the drill: how bandwidth is shared between bridge, guests and crew, what happens to the fee over the lay-up, and who you call when something fails 200 miles out. One point of contact, and a written proposal that also says "no" when it isn't worth it for you.
We don't sell internet. We work out with you what connectivity your boat needs, and see that it is fitted properly.

Six things that don't come in the operator's box
See usage by cabin, give the bridge priority over guest Wi-Fi and cut the crew network during a watch. From your phone, without going aboard, at no extra charge.
When something fails you don't call the operator or the installer: you write to us and we coordinate the response. Most incidents are resolved remotely; if someone has to come aboard, we arrange it at the nearest port.
We agree the antenna position with you before anything is touched; the certified integrator we appoint runs the cable through existing conduits and leaves the finish as it was. At the port that suits you, with signal tests and a signed handover.
The operator's figures for the maritime service (2026). HD video calls, 4K streaming and remote work in several cabins at once, without anyone knowing you're at sea.
Mediterranean, Caribbean, Atlantic and Pacific, with the operator's coverage map in plain sight. No roaming within your plan's scope; offshore, depending on the plan, data is either included or billed per GB — chosen with your route in front of us.
On recurring plans the contract is paused in whole months, against an annual allowance of days, and reactivated when you're back. You ask MaritLink, and it shows on the next invoice: on a seasonal boat, that changes the annual sum.
Every client gets the same management dashboard. It is not a paid add-on: it comes with the service, and it is the difference between owning an antenna and having the boat under control from your phone.
If you run more than one boat — a charter fleet, or the yacht and a tender with its own contract — the monthly allowance of all of them goes into one shared pool: the one that sails little lends headroom to the one that sails a lot. It needs a pool-type account; we set it up and maintain it, you consult it.
If the boat doesn't sail from November to March, the contract is paused in whole months against an annual allowance of paused days, and reactivated when you're back. The pause shows on the next invoice. On a seasonal boat, that changes the annual sum.
Email alerts when usage hits the percentages you set, sent to whoever you choose: the captain, the yacht manager or your office. You can set thresholds above 100% to know the moment you're into additional usage.
The terminal reports its own position and the map shows it with no extra hardware, with the last few days' history. It is the centre of the coverage cell, not a GPS fix: no heading, no speed. For that, and for alert zones, you need AIS, which is a separate product.
The on-board router groups devices by zone — bridge, crew, guests — and decides what goes out over which link, so the marina 4G isn't left idle while the satellite works. It is all configured remotely, without going aboard. Automatic failover when a link drops is not in production yet; load sharing is.
Today you know what the whole boat used. This breaks it down by device, by cabin and by type of use, so "who ate the 200 GB?" stops being an argument at the aft table. It also shows what is consumed with nobody using it: updates, backups and 4K video.
Speed is assigned per user or per cabin, and the link is shared fairly when several people are connected. Navigation, the captain's email and telephony don't lose their line because a guest is streaming in 4K. And the captain can cut crew Wi-Fi during a watch.
Every boat runs its own firewall and a private VPN tunnel back to our systems, so management traffic never crosses the open internet. The network is split into zones — bridge, crew, guests — each with its own rules, so an infected laptop in a guest cabin stays in that cabin.
The same firewall blocks whole categories — gambling, adult content, downloads — or leaves only the essentials open, and sets which devices get a connection and during which hours. Because the rules are per zone, you can be strict with the crew and not with guests. And it can't be dodged by changing the DNS on a phone.
The antenna, the plan and how the dashboard is used are not the same on a 12-metre sailing yacht and on a crewed superyacht.
Up to 40 metres
The antenna usually goes on the radar arch or hardtop, with the cable through existing conduits. A regional plan if you stay in the Med; the dashboard shares speed between bridge, cabins and guests and warns you before the invoice does.
Passages and circumnavigation
On a sailing yacht the antenna goes on the stern arch, the pushpit or the mast base, and the electrical budget rules: 110–150 W in use (operator's sheet, 2026), so you run it in windows for weather and comms. The plan is chosen by the furthest point of the route; offshore, data may be billed per GB depending on the plan.
Over 40 metres
Antenna flush-mounted or under a colour-matched radome, the network split into zones — bridge, crew, guests — with their own firewall and VPN, and speed assigned per cabin. The captain cuts crew Wi-Fi during a watch from the dashboard.
Several boats, one account
One shared data pool for the whole fleet (on a pool-type account we set up and maintain), guest usage policies by zone and hour, and pausing in whole months off season. Fleet terms come in the proposal.
Four steps, and in none of them do you deal with the operator or the installer
Tell us the boat, the route and the months you sail: that is enough to start. No cost, no obligation.
You get the three cost items — hardware, plan and installation — the plan that fits your route, and what the dashboard does not do today. If it isn't worth it for you, we say that too.
The certified integrator we appoint fits it at the port you prefer: antenna position agreed with you, hidden cable, signal tests and a signed handover.
Live from handover, with the dashboard on your phone. For any query or incident, one point of contact: us.
Coverage by island and zone, measured speeds, regulatory considerations and a preparation checklist for your Caribbean winter season.

In writing
Proposal and limits, in writing
The assessment is free. The proposal comes with the three cost items, the plan that fits your route and what the dashboard does not do today; if satellite isn't worth it for your length and your sailing months, we say so in writing too. Already have a quote from another installer? Send it over: we'll tell you what it's missing, whether or not you go through us.
Signed handover
On every install
Carried out by a certified marine-communications integrator at the port you choose; it ends with signal tests and a signed handover that records what was done and who answers for what.
Dashboard included
No extra charge
Usage by cabin, alerts, lay-up pause and firewall from your phone. It comes with the service and you can see it before you commit.
Name and email are enough to start. Add length and cruising area and the proposal comes back with figures.
We send you the three figures in writing — hardware, plan and installation — and which plan fits. No cost, no obligation. If we think it isn't worth it for you, we'll say so.
