Starlink Maritime is the latest product offering from SpaceX Starlink. But priced at $10,000 up front (2 dishes) + $5000.00/month, is this even worth it?? For you and me – definitely not…but companies at sea with large fleets of ships may be able to save a significant amount of money with Starlink Maritime versus other existing Internet-at-sea services. Let’s dig into the details!

If you have a yacht and go out to see that might not be a bad deal.
Need a ground hog to predict the dates.
A perfect addition to my canoe!
There are work arounds to the lack of ethernet adapters but yeah it would be nice.
One scenario that is interesting.
Suppose someone buys are used oceangoing sailboat. Hundred thousand dollars. A retired middle-class couple. They sail From New York to France. If they buy Star link maritime The $10,000 will increase the value of their boat. They spend a month sailing to Europe paying the $5000 and then turn it off. They spend six months traveling Europe come back to their boat and turn the service back on and sail back to America and turn the service off again. The hardware is just improvement to the boat. The two months of service Is not much compared To a 250,000 or $300,000 retirement excursion. It was very smart of them to go month by month because it is possible for middle class people that are retiring to enjoy the service on their yachting aspersions whether it’s every year or every five years.
So the TCO are about the same between 6-24 months depending on the data volume.
As an offshore construction surveyor, this system is a game changer. The traditional satellite ISP should see the writings on the wall. !!!!!! And if you think about it, Cellphone service providers as well if tesla decides to invent a sat-phone that will work with the Starlink Satelites.
So if they are coming out with a 20X20 plate so we can called it Dishy Mc Suitcase? lol 20 X 20 is a carry on suitcase!
I'm curious how the two dishes work. Do they now have a different router with two WAN ports? Or do they just give you two routers? And if the latter case, could you then use the two dishes on separate boats under one monthly fee.

We’re going to need a bigger boat (budget) 😉
If I were to make a suggestion, move your camera up slightly to center your face
We pay $7000 a month for a guarenteed 3mb CIR up with 1mb CIR down. Top speed MIR is 5mb up and 2mb down
Good job! After saving a lot of money, the solution has finally been found, and now is the time to start saving enough to buy a luxury yacht.😂
Every luxury cruise ship should buy one of these. Price is very fair for these giant ships serving hundreds of passengers. Imagine how many Caribbean cruise ships would love to have high speed Internet service.
Using the largest commercial VSAT provider, we currently pay Just over $14,000 a month per vessel on a three year contract for 2mb Up/Down CIR with unlimited data. That includes rental of two 1m stabilized antennas, and all below deck hardware. The cost of the bandwidth alone is almost $11,000. So the price for both the hardware and monthly fees are well below current VSAT prices. Too low in fact… You've already seen what has happened on the residential side with price increases. We have been in negotiations with Starlink for well over a year, and are set to test this on two vessels next month. While the promises sound great, I am a bit skeptical. Starlink has been very non committal on any kind of guaranteed speeds, future pricing, or the ability to secure licensing on a global scale. Another area of concern is the antenna. The current fixed flat panel is not going to be reliable unless you are at the dock or in calm weather. I have concerns even with a stabilized antenna, as most other competitors, and yes, there are some, who use LEO sats have moved to phased array antennas. With the speed those sats are travelling, and the short periods that they are visible, you really need the ability to track multiple at once . I suspect they are trying to mitigate this with the second antenna, so we will see how successful they are. This is the future….just not sure the future is here yet :).
not in baltic sea yet.
Can they improve my service in Missouri? I get 4 down and 1 up during the evening!!!!
WOW!! 10 Grand!! I would not only expect an ethernet adapter but a multi-gig switch as well!
Wow… Didn't know dish network could cripple them like that
Now that I think about it its the exact Timeline which SpaceX expects is needed to activate the operational inter-satellite laser links. When Musk says some timelines by himself ur right about the high probability of him being overoptimistic, but usually when the companies do it officially its pretty accurate, depending on Regulatory issues, but this rather seems like a technical communication engineering issue.
If they use laserlinks u'll have internet coverage everywhere on Earth.
Would be funny seeing e.g Pirates or Iranian fanatic paramilitaries raid a ship to take its crew as hostages only to realize, it got no crew on board xD.
11:13 No it's most likely not actuated at all, it's going to be the same that is used on Starship and Airplanes, thus it's going to have significantly higher transmission power, for the bigger beam angle of the Phased Array antenna. Imo it's going to use more power, and be less efficient.
That's why it's going to be an option for the customer.
E.g when u cant use the big dish because of clearance, high aerodynamic drag or any other reason u can still use the flat dish.
That’s where all my bandwidth went? Last year 312+ and this year 9-27. I can’t compete with $5000 a month.
Would the supply for the Maritime POE adapter 12/24V
I stated this in a sub comment already, but just a note, the military applications for Starlink are huge. Assuming the Navy and Coast Guard adopted it, Starlink has the capability to vastly improve search and rescue missions, humanitarian deployments, and the speed and volume of unclassified communications during training missions and wartime scenarios.
Can’t wait to be wealthy enough to afford it:) Great video, I would like to know more about the Wi-Fi router hardware
I would like to know the Wind/time of endurance/tolerance and Temperature endurance/tolerances in freezing zones. I would look at a passive dome. The rectangle antenna would be a compromise issue with wind and keeping up with continual rocking. I would see the motors would salt up and fail.
Thanks, now I got “I’m on a Boat!” song stuck in my head.
Aviation will be next.
You have to take into account on land you have a lot of customers connected and paying for the service which brings cost down. Out at sea there are very little clients so the cost to maintain and serve those services is much higher.
We are interested to Air, land and Sea area for all around to logistic bussines. Can we are to sale on our web?like an sole agent on our country.
