“If we were to ditch into the life raft, we wouldn’t take the Starlink, we’d take the GO! exec.”

“Stellar support staff that keeps us happy and confidence in the products. Super responsive, five stars all around!”
The Iridium GO! exec is the ultimate solution for internet, communication and safety while offshore. It’s rugged, fully portable, reliable, offers 100% global coverage and is 40x faster than an Iridium GO! With low power usage and an internal battery, it can be used as a stand-alone satellite phone in the event of an emergency or life raft evacuation.
Take it anywhere
Powered by the reliable and proven Iridium Constellation, the Iridium GO! exec delivers better speed and functionality anywhere in the world.
Use it on and off the boat, or in an emergency in a life raft. Make voice calls directly from the unit with no apps required, just like an Iridium phone.
The Iridium GO! exec is built tough with an IP65 rating to withstand the harshest environments on earth. It is protected from rain, sea spray, sand and dust, to keep you connected, no matter what.
In the event of an emergency, send out an SOS alert at the touch of a button. Use the Iridium GO! exec unit as a stand-alone satellite phone, with no apps required. The backup battery provides six hours of talk/data time or 24 hours on standby. This gives you the ultimate grab and go safety solution to protect your crew and vessel.
Unlimited data, anywhere.
The new GO! exec Unlimited Plan opens up a whole new world of possibilities with truly unlimited data. Forget about data caps and overage costs, and enjoy endless connection with the most reliable offshore communications network in the world.

- ⁴ Antenna with a larger beam angle allows better tracking of satellites, and less potential for dropouts due to obstructions such as masts, etc.

Conclusion
Our recommendation is to use Starlink for high speed internet access, but use the low powered Iridium GO! exec 24/7 on the $70/Month plan for GPS tracking, AI Polars, and Anchor Alert 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 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.
