SUPER FAST INTERNET on a SAIL BOAT with STARLINK! [RED SEAS]



This is the biggest game changer for our sailing YouTube channel! We add Starlink RV to our sailing catamaran to see how well it performs on a boat while we’re off-grid.

We speed test the latest Starlink dishy and install a new custom set up. Now we can work remotely with super fast internet – the ultimate solution for digital nomads.

If you want to see more of our sailing journey, check out the other episodes on our channel as we fix up our sailing catamaran Indioko and explore the Caribbean islands.

๐Ÿ“– Our Story ๐Ÿ“–
We’re Iain and Brioni, a couple of ginger Scots who sold everything we own and moved to the Caribbean to buy a boat that we could call home. We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but thatโ€™s what makes life interesting! We love to travel, we love the sea and we love sharing inspiring stories about inspiring people. So hit subscribe and join us on this adventure!

  1. I hope you are well,
    I saw a video about Starlink on YouTube.
    I have a question,
    Are you connected to the Internet at all times with Starlink?
    Does it stay connected during boat movement and strong shocks?
    Thank you if you answer my question.

  2. Get either Qobuz or Tidal for Hi-Res audio streaming (EG, 24 bit, 192 kHz) and access to literally millions of artists, albums, tracksโ€ฆa yacht like yours should have a Hi-Fi audio system ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Hallo ๐Ÿ™‚ I have a question about your experience of starlink. have you been to several different countries with it? And how long have you been using it?

  4. Hi – great video on this fascinating topic. We will be sailing from Antigua down to Grenada this winter and weโ€™re looking as this solution. Iโ€™m curious about 2 things – (1) have you had any issues so far with the 60 days limit? And (2) how has coverage been in the various locations you have sailed to since installing the kit? Thanks!

  5. Forgive me if you have answered this already. How far offshore can you use your starlink? I have heard that about 12 miles offshore it doesn't work. Have you experienced this? Thanks.

  6. Great update on SL for your boat!!!. How have the phone calls or video conferencing (Zoom etc) worked on the SL. Clear, consistent?? I assume you simply use internet calling feature on the phone??? Did Millennial also add one??

  7. Great vid and hello from Australia. Any chance you could share the Fusion or stl file for your mount? I have the same rocket launcher and Starlink en route!

  8. Nice!! I'm wondering if you guys have found a workaround the 60-day international limit? Or are you in the same country as your registered address? I appreciate it.

  9. Thanks for reviewing this โ€” question how did you run the simple connections? Is it permanently installed or will you store it inside and move it out to the rod holder when you want to connect. I interested in getting it also but just not sure how you did the wire run.

  10. By bet is mostly up. To fill in some, the satellites are in an elliptical orbit and the preferred is catching them as they hit their peak. The relative motion slows way down.

  11. Since your using the residential dish out at sea,, and it's not meant for out of the sea compared to the maritime ,Elon musk did say that will void your dishes warranty fyi, and I will let you know that they do have software that can detect when your dishes in motion. So when you're at sea the software will let Starlink know that you're not using the correct dish for being out at sea, and that may void your dish warranty, someone already tested this and they did get a notice from Starlink that since their dish is in motion they may void the warranty, the phone to router is not a real speed test compared to router to internet, The phone to router is just the speed between your phone and router. It has nothing to do with your actual internet speed

  12. We would love to install Starlink on our boat but there is this annoying thing in the TOS about it only being usable on the same continent as the shipping address. That's a real bummer :/ And then there is the 60 day challenge. Where you're only allowed 60 days in a different country. The tech clearly works it's just a shame you have to work around stuff like this. I wish starlink would come out with a crusing version (same ip rating as maretim dishy, no 60 day limit, no continent limit and maybe even slow connection offshore). I doubt that's going to happen but it would be freaking awesome ๐Ÿ™‚

  13. Would you possibly be able to make the fishing rod mount available for download? I could see others wanting to mount the dish in the same way.

  14. So excited for you to see this working… We watched the satellites go over our house a few years ago and I wondered when it would become more widespread and useful. Your video has answered that..! So good to see and hear your lovely song/video you did for Kate and David's wedding a few weeks ago… If you had got Starlink then you could have done a live link up!

  15. Love your channel, you are great. As I am right now searching for a liveaboard catamaran I would be exited to have fast Internet on board. But Starlink maritim comes at a price of about 10.000 $ for Hardware and 5.000 $ monthly fee???. and the RV Version of Starlink is not meant to be used on the move. Is the connection stable as your boat moves at the anchor? Keep up the good work. Ralph
