Do you install Starlink Maritime systems on yachts and fishing vessels?

Yes. We install Starlink Flat High Performance antennas on yachts, sailboats, trawlers and fishing boats, along with the power supply, router and onboard Wi-Fi. Use on the open ocean needs a Starlink plan that allows it.

Can you come to my slip to install Starlink in Marina del Rey or Long Beach?

Yes. We install Starlink at your slip or private dock anywhere from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach, or at our San Pedro shop. A trip fee by distance applies to each visit, from $30 in San Pedro to $110 in Newport Beach, with no trip fee at the shop.

Will Starlink work reliably offshore along the California coast?

Starlink covers the Southern California coast, Catalina and far offshore, but speed and stability depend on your Starlink plan (use on the open ocean needs a plan that allows it), a clear view of the sky and how busy the network is. We mount the dish where it sees the most sky and can add 5G backup through a Peplink router.

Do I need special marine mounts or can I use the stock Starlink hardware?

For boats, we recommend marine-grade mounts, reinforced bases, vibration isolation, and proper cable routing. Stock home mounts are not designed for marine use and can fail under wind load or saltwater exposure.

Can you integrate Starlink with my existing marine electronics?

Yes. We connect Starlink to your router and onboard Wi-Fi so phones, laptops, cameras and network-capable chartplotters or monitoring systems can use it. Starlink is an internet link, so it does not connect to an NMEA 2000 network directly.

How fast is Starlink on a boat compared to 4G/5G?

It varies with your Starlink plan, the dish, how much open sky it sees and how busy the network is, so we don't promise a number; Starlink publishes typical speeds for each plan. Near the harbor a strong 5G signal can be as fast. Offshore, where cell coverage fades, Starlink is usually the only fast option, and a Peplink router can switch between the two automatically.

Do you handle complete Starlink setup, activation, and wiring?

Yes. We handle the installation, cable routing, power, network setup and onboard Wi-Fi, and we help you activate the kit on your own Starlink account. The Starlink subscription is between you and Starlink.

About this service

Global Connectivity

Your Office.
Now Offshore.

Stream video, join Zoom calls, and download weather charts offshore, wherever your Starlink plan covers. We install the Starlink Flat High-Performance system, integrated with a Peplink router that can switch to 5G when the satellite link drops.

Flat High-Performance

The standard "Dishy" isn't built for use at sea. We install the Flat High-Performance panel, which is rated for use while the boat is moving and offers 140° visibility.

Peplink Integration

We don't just plug it in. We bond Starlink with 5G cellular using Peplink routers. This "SpeedFusion" technology switches to cellular when the satellite link drops and there is 5G coverage, so your Zoom call is less likely to drop.

Scanstrut Mounting

No zip ties or PVC pipes. We use Scanstrut Starlink mounts or Seaview marine wedge mounts. These are UV-stable, waterproof installations that angle the dish for optimal rain runoff and minimal wind drag on your hardtop.

The Installation Standard.

Built to survive the salt spray.

Obstruction Scan

We use the Starlink app's obstruction check to find the "sweet spot" on your hardtop, clear of radar arches and outriggers, so the dish gets as open a view of the sky as possible.

Hardtop Penetration

We drill precise holes for the proprietary Starlink cables and use Scanstrut cable seals to seal the cable entry through your fiberglass roof against water.

Power Conversion

Starlink is power-hungry. We can convert the system to run on native 12V/24V DC if required, or install dedicated inverters to keep it running silently without the generator.

Network Handoff

We bypass the basic Starlink router, feeding the signal directly into a high-power Marine Access Point system (Ubiquiti or Peplink) for wall-to-wall WiFi coverage on your boat.

Common Questions

Can I use the Standard Starlink dish?

Technically yes, but the Standard kit is not built for in-motion use at sea; check Starlink's current terms before using it on a boat. The Flat High-Performance dish is built for permanent mounting and use in motion.

What about power consumption?

The High-Performance dish draws 110W-150W, which is significant. We recommend running it on 12V/24V DC, or on a small pure sine wave inverter sized for it, with enough house battery for the hours you plan to run it at anchor without a generator.

Before Your Starlink Marine Installation

A good Starlink marine installation starts with planning, not drilling. The dish needs a clear view of the sky, away from radar arches, outriggers and antennas, and it needs a reliable power source, because the Flat High-Performance dish draws 110W-150W. Deciding early whether the system will run on 12V/24V DC or through an inverter makes the rest of the install simpler.

To help us plan your Starlink marine setup, share photos of your hardtop or arch, details of your house battery bank and inverter, and how you plan to use the connection: streaming, video calls, weather downloads or all of these. Tell us whether you also want 5G bonding through a Peplink router and wall-to-wall WiFi coverage, so the cabling, mounts and access points can be planned together.

What Goes Into a Complete Starlink Marine Package?

Many owners expect a single box, but on a boat a reliable system is several parts planned together: the Flat High-Performance dish, a Scanstrut or Seaview wedge mount, watertight cable glands through the hardtop, power on native 12V/24V DC or through a dedicated inverter, and a Peplink router for 5G bonding and wall-to-wall WiFi coverage.
