is there a way to have internet while sailing?

[Lt.]

I have no clue as to how, so I ask the good people of the CF. And I mean out of cell range and away from the coast.

With SSB you can get email and weather gribs through SailMail. With Sat phones you can get rudimentary internet access.

Can you Eplain how you use sub to get email. What is sailmail

You can put on a dome with fulltime internet connections that the mega yachts use. about 3-4 k per month for usage. 200MB is 1100.00 per month,, unlimited is over 6k I think

my buddy lars on jennifer has imarsat fleet broadband for internet which costs about $1500-2000 a month to run,the costs are defrayed by his full time charter guests and articles he writes.
