We are a sailing family, circumnavigating. Our kids thrive in this learning environment, with first-hand cultural experiences, living history, marine biology, and language immersion. But, we rely heavily on Starlink to support their education as we travel and have already made financial commitments for online education for this school year, based on the assumption we’d have Starlink. We cannot afford a significant cost increase for Starlink, so this policy change could mean our trip is over.

Starlink provides internet at sea which is important for our safety. I would appreciate that the service can be continued without extreme cost increases.

The international sailing community coordinated a record 65 vessels in humanitarian response to hurricane beryl, this was the founding mission that led to Boats Without Borders, for which starlink is the technological pillar that allows our lifesaving operations across horizons.
The sailing community has been connected, empowered, and enabled by the solutions starlink has delivered. But the new changes threaten the welfare, financial security, and humanitarian ability of this demographic.

I understand Starlink requiring you register in the country you are in. Their policy needs to allow us to do that.

They already killed general aviation. Now it’s time for maritime to go. Crazy!

Starlink has added an extra layer of safety and comfort to sailing the oceans. It would be be a big loss if the average sailor no longer has access to this amazing technology. Writing this while crossing the Arafura Sea, thanks to Starlink.

As a cruising sailor on my sailboat, I really appreciate how StarLink has enhanced my access to the internet at an affordable price. Like many people i know in the small yacht cruising community, I hope the service remains a viable, affordable option for my connectivity needs.

Starlink has been the biggest blessing by unlocking what was impossible before, especially for us sailors and remote digital nomads. Removing the 90 day transfer restriction is only sensible, to allow us to continue going forward with what has worked so great.
