Will you have Wi-Fi on a crewed yacht charter?

Yes — most crewed yacht charters now carry Starlink Maritime, with 100–250 Mbps at anchor. Starlink has rewired the at-sea connectivity question over the last two years: yachts that used to limp along on $20/MB satellite plans now run video calls and 4K streaming from the cockpit. Coverage is reliable at anchor in calm conditions and during shorter passages; heavy weather and very high latitudes can drop the signal briefly. Some yachts still bundle local 4G/LTE hotspots as a backup, useful when in range of Caribbean islands. Bandwidth is shared across all guests, so a five-person Zoom session and a Netflix binge can compete. Brokers can confirm a specific yacht’s Wi-Fi loadout before booking.
