It is on the app for me. Weird how everyone using the same Starlink has complpetely different experiences. Starlink provided instructions for both website & app.

The AUD price is pretty much equivalent after the exchange rate to the USD price, so how would using a US address help?

Re: Starlink Maritime now starting at $250/month

We are buying a new sailboat and thinking about getting a starlink maritime antenna. My understanding is that Starlink offers a couple of rate plans, the maritime at 250$ for 50 mb and a roam option that is less expensive. I understand that the roam option will work in shore and coastal out 15 miles or so, is this correct?



The boat we are buying is approximately 50 ft, single mast. Does anybody have experience with installing the maritime antenna? The only options that I see is a rail mount on aft pulpit or a mast on the stern. The maritime unit is installed so that it is literally in the horizontal, I am afraid that would interfere being an obstacle in docking, etc. Other than a mast to get the antenna higher are there any other suggestions?

Kinda. Currently Regional/Global Mobile works everywhere. People have used it 200 miles offshore in motion and it just works. Officially it should not.

Officially if you have Regional/Global Mobile it will only work in non-ocean hexes and when not in motion. If you look at Stalrink map "ocean" hexes are the ones in black. However you can opt in pay as you good $2/GB as needed for ocean and motion coverage.

The M50 plan provides 50GB of priority data but you can't turn it off so it will be used first no matter what even if inland or in a marina. That means it may not be ideal for most cruisers.

Side not there actually is no Roam or Maritime anymore it is Regional/Global Mobile or Priority Mobile however SpaceX website is currently a mess using both old and new terms.

As for mounting the flat panel dish you may want to use use a vertical pipe possibly attached to your stern rail or another location to put the dish up higher and out of the way. You may want to checkout the Starlink On Boats and Starlink Hacks facebook groups for inspiration/ideas.
