With 4 different Starlink Options, which Starlink Dish is better or best on a boat? Is it the Maritime, RV, RV High Performance InMotion or Residential with Portability?

With the release of the Residential Portability, RV Standard, RV In Motion HiPerformance flat dish, and the Maritime Dishes, there are now 4 viable options for boaters ranging from the Great Lakes, Inter Coastal, Coastal and open ocean.

In this video, we’ll describe the differences of each of the 4 Starlink offerings that can be used on a boat AND which is (based on our hands on experience) best for the following 4 different types of boaters.

The first 3 of these 4 scenarios which are in the recreational boating area:

Near shore recreational weekend to a couple weeks boating that wants to stream video and have a connection to the internet to surf and maybe check email.
Extended or liveaboard boaters that not only stream video but depend on an internet connection to attend some Zoom meetings and have a connection to the internet for personal work related activities, but aren’t concerned about a few random 215 second dropouts per day
Hardcore liveaboard cruisers that work reboatly and have all of the needs for video streaming, online connection for personal and work activities but, bulletproof connections for frequent Video conferencing
And commercial offshore usage

The areas we’ll cover between these sometimes confusing 4 Starlink Dish offerings that can be used on boats, including:

Costs: $60010,000 for equipment and plans ranging from 135 to $5K per month

Performance: that ranges between best effort to 300Mbps

Power consumption: from 4575 Watts to 110150 watts

Size: Repurposed residential 11x20’ dishes with decent 100 degree view of the sky but problematic directional motors to purpose built flat 22x20” dishes that have a much more wider 140 degree view of the sky for tracking satellites

Water resistance: varies from IP54 water splashes to IP56 with a direct water spray

Winds ratings: from 50 to 174

Installation: that can be as simple (and precarious) as a fishing pole holder to a permeate purpose built wedge mount, and last

In motion support: that is cut off over 8.5 knts and full inmotion support

Here are our recommendations by our 4 different boater types!
