Well,
I started this post in May our Star link went active May 15th on our boat. We are on a lake however our lake is in one of the most remote spots of Utah and Az for cell and internet service. So remote that if you boat the lake like we do you have all the cell spots gps market in your maps and out of 100 mile stretch there are only 12 spots to get cell services.
With that said Starlink has been a game changer not only for me but I would say by now 100 or more boats have it. When in a good spot" it likes north vertical view" we are seeing 130 to 155 Mbps. Full email, cell and download to netflix ...etc..
I will be taking off my tracvision dome as we never used it and that is where our starlink will be mounted.
Right now it has a temporary home on the bow of the boat.
Hardware was one time $600.00 fee and monthly fee $110.00 per month + $25.00 for portability.
It works while underway.
I could see some kind of super starlink for the large super yachts.
However ours works just fine. We even had at one time 43 people connected to it and nothing slowed down.
The only con I have about it is the cable has a male end and starlink has yet to come out with a female to male connector so if you wanted to extend the cable or make it like your shore power to unplug at the transom you have to hack there cable... it is like cat 6 but not cat 6.
