Airtime Plans
Select from three great airtime plans, with all the voice and data minutes you need for your next adventure.
Starlink or GO!/GO! exec?
- ¹ Starlink max download speed in ideal conditions. In congested areas download speed can drop to a few MB/s. In addition obstructions can cause dropouts.
- ² The Starlink Mobile Regional plan with the standard antenna is for coastal use only, and not in motion use.
- ³ The GO! exec has an internal battery so in the event of a power failure or life-raft evacuation, you have up to 6 hours of talk/data time or 24 hours of standby time.
- ⁴ Antenna with a larger beam angle allows better tracking of satellites, and less potential for dropouts due to obstructions such as masts, etc.
- ⁵ The L-band frequency is rain-resistant while K-band frequencies are subject to degradation during rain or snow.

Conclusion
Our recommendation is to use Starlink for high speed internet access, but use the low powered Iridium GO! 24/7 on the $70/Month plan for GPS tracking and AIS Data connectivity.
Why? Starlink requires too much power for the average yacht, as it uses more than the average fridge/freezer combined. Services such as GPS tracking require Starlink to be switched on 24hrs a day, which will lead to high power usage.
The Iridium GO! exec is also an excellent backup and essential safety communication device, giving you peace of mind when heading offshore. Bing portable, the unit can be used in a life raft, with full voice capability, and an SOS button to keep you safe, anywhere in the world.
