Staying connected at sea

Postby chad79 » December 24th, 2025, 4:54 am

Hey
I’ve been using an eSIM to get mobile data on my phone when out on the Carver. Saves faffing about with swapping SIMs and paying stupid roaming fees. You can pick a plan for the country you’re in and how long you’re away, and sometimes there’s a decent discount. Proper handy when the marina Wi-Fi is rubbish or non-existent. Only thing is, signal can be a bit patchy depending on where you are. Had to fiddle with the antenna a bit on my boat to get a decent connection, especially out past the coast or behind an island. Anyone else doing this on their cruises? How do you make sure you get a decent signal on your boats?

May be a little more expensive but why not use Starlink. I have used it when in areas with no cell service and it works great.
You might look into it.
