Only form of communication with family when outside home country, also use it for weather forecasting

This is a safety matter for cruising sailors like me. We have come to rely upon Starling for communication at sea for weather updates; passage guardian services (daily updating emails); and notifying emergency services e.g. maritime communication centres, as well as local updates from fellow cruisers. There are also national applications for visa entry to differing nations. Plans change at sea e.g. weather, breakdowns, equipment failure etc a 90 day country transfer rule makes this impossible

It's not practical to switch to priority plans - just too expensive..

We've just spent 60 days in Canada. With this we would have list access for half of it. Next year we will travel to Europe and will move regularly between counties. We use starlink for work but it not that lucrative that we can just use global. It may mean we have to cancel our plans

I simply can’t afford to spend more than $175 on internet. As full time sailors, this price increase will cause us to drop our highest priority safety device.

Je ne vais pas changer ma manière de naviguer en voilier pour m'adapter a Starlink. Si c'est trop cher pour moi, je reviendrais aux anciennes communications.

We are full time cruisers and are currently Starlink customers. A few days more at least.

Starlink has transformed life aboard in a very positive way. Starlink made communication very easy when my husband was evacuated off the boat with appendicitis off Ecuador. Now in French Pilynesia we are not able to localise as Starlink is not available here. Also once we leave here to sail to Australia we will be changing countries every few weeks.
